Or I won't do that thing with the chilli pepper, feather and latex gloves anymore Have you tried a functional stock Actuator to see if the problem is not with the actuator itself and rather somewhere in the vacuum plumbing, intercooler piping etc?sorry sugar plum il take it back i was lying Good to hear you solved the problem!Thankyou mate well happy Sweet im glad you got it sorted mate,, i thought the manifold would be to blame!!!

Russleh Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 make sure ya check the mani to turbo bolts and gasket. i always put mine on uber tight and was left with only 2 bolts on it one day. didnt sound the best like. also if you do notice the bolts are loose wait till its cooled down before ya touch them ( i learned that the hard way ). ya been havin boost probs for a while so ya might have already had a look at this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 to be honest i havnt checked the mani to turbo bolts.

Steve GT Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 taken her for a quick spinsymptoms- revving to 3k then noise kicks in and flies upto 5k and not going anywhere - boost hitting 0.5 bar then same thing happensDiagnosis- CLUTCH Theres doctor starbo's medical reportdoes everyone agree with this. it sounds to me like the clutch is just spinning once boost kicks in.
