it sound like the clutch has seen better days! one test you could do to check if your clutch is slipping is to have the car at its running temp (because they slip more when hot) then apply the hand brake, place in 5th gear and then try to pull away! If revs go up and you dont move then your clutch needs changing a.s.a.p before it goes on you and then u'll have no drive! your car should stall straight away if your clutch is any good!

hi i've got a blitz cone filter which cost about £160 but well worth the money tho!

it sounds like you went over a wet patch or the road was slippy from a fuel spillage or loose debris

yeah sounds like the synco's worn on the outer edge, only way of fixing it stripping the box!!!

thanks guys 4 the help i've managed to sort it now! the problem was the securing clip on the rod from the actuator to the wastegate and was stopping it from opening fully! As i only ran it for a couple of sec's at 1.5bar it doesn't seem to have done any damage to the engine or the turbo thank god!! Its good to know that there are people out there with the same car and are willing to help with any problems that may arise!!

ok mate cheers

hi i've just brought a 2nd hand rebuilt CT9B turbo and have fitted it to my ep82. i have a full blitz nur spec system inc a de-cat pipe, a FCD, blitz front mounted intercooler, blitz air filter and running it on a standard turbo which boosted up to 1bar of boost! now that i have fitted the CT9b turbo its running at over 1.5bar! which aint going to do my turbo or engine any good!!! The CT9b turbo that i recieved didn't come with an actuator so i put my orignal one onto the new turbo but i think that it maybe too short and holding the waste gate closed! i was wondering if anyone knows if there
