Lost horses.... If found please return.

There's a bunch on ebay and other online part stores, £30 or so which seems pretty decent.

Whilst I wait for the new part I heat shrunk mine in place with some good results so must be losing a lot of power from this area. Still feel like it wants to go but is just a bit behind itself lol
Sealed 3 pipes I wasn't happy with. Latched in place with clips then heat wrapped. New turbo connector arrived and fitted. Also found a leak on the rocker cover so sorted that. Will now do a test run.... Fingers crossed
Success finally. We have a car that shifts yaaaaay.
After stopping all boost leaks no matter how minor.
Replace the seal on the boost pipe to turbo connector.
New map sensor
New maf sensor.
Seem to have nailed it.
Thank you to everyone that helped

I hope so. On another positive she flew through her mot today with no advisories so awesome
Hi Paul, good to hear you have sorted it out. Can you please take photos of were you have found the leaks, mine is having a similar problem of lost horses
Will do but give me a day or to as it's peeing down lol. Make sure the pipe is clipped in to the egr part fully mine needed help with large grips until it clicked. I had to clip the pipe to the right front (as you look at the engine) intercooler as the clip was on to far allowing the rubber pipe to move about. Near the lower left side of the intercooler the rubber hose meets a plastic hose (by the map sensor) I had to heat shrink these 2 together as they just seemed to move about.
Biggest loss was the turbo to rubber pipe connector which I ended up heat wrapping to the turbo (3 layers) then putting the rubber pipe back on. She seems to shift from 2500rpm now 3rd gear onwards.
Will upload some pics

Wow. What a journey. Glad you got to the bottom of it

Chances are it's not just the seal but the hose connection as well.
The little metal lugs wear away and the hose becomes loose in the fitting.
Replace the entire thing and be done with it.
This is how the securing lugs end up \/
I had this on one of my mk1 leon pd130s. I could hear a whoosh almost like it was through the air vents when boosting.
Found that fitting in exactly the same condition.
Think it was around £20-30 for a new one.
The first part i bought was from a vw dealer as it was local, looked the same initially but when fitting the little notches were in the wrong places. Something to watch out for
To be fair that was the only turbo or boost issue i had on either pd130. I put around 40k on the first and 110k on the second.
I now own a pd170 fr mk2 bmn engine and have a slight siren/whistle at low rpm. Im going to investigate for any leaks this weeke d
