I was at this stage a month ago but decided to sort it out for myself as no garage (it's been to 5) seemed able to fix the slow pick up. So yesterday I started. I found the slow pickup fault within 10 mins, there was an inch of takeup before the throttle started to open and it never opened fully because of this. Adjusted it and took it for a spin, it was quite a different drive I got back, ripped out the aircon, removed the turbo, fitted racetech manifold with all new gaskets, put my hybrid turbo on that's I had repaired four months ago, front mounted the intake, changed a few hoses, put it all back together and it worked! However I nearly soiled my trousers at 0.6 bar when the turbo came on full so I drove back home. Will check everything is tight this morning, plumb my EBC back in and go for another drive. Well pleased with myself. The Mrs isn't!
