    Does this sound like a leak?

    Yeh need to get that sorted too. It's probably not that noticable on the video but it is in person, there is an air escaping (dump/mini flutter) sound on lift off. It's more audible when in the car I think

    Does this sound like a leak?

    Put stock airbox back on and no BOV so does this sound like an air leak on lift off or is that just normal turbo noise?

    loud boost sound

    You know the diverter valve is required to recirculate the unused air....it is not a dump valve....you WILL blow your turbo so your mechanic friends were obviously seeing nice big repair fees for replacing your turbo

    Thanks, the aircon doesnt seem to be working so would like to find the problem, might just need regassing. I did have the BOV recirc setup on the 007p, this evening I put the blinking plate on to see if that changes anything. The car pulls a lot more than my old 1.8t did, but that had the APP...

    what have you done to your car today ?

    Wheel wobble

    I have solved the problem pretty much, it was the spacers weren't sitting flush, so after getting them on nice and flat the problem seems to of gone, but its still not at a stage I am comfortable to drive it far so once the subframe is done and the bushes on wishbone are replaced I can test it...

    Wheel wobble

    I was avoiding doing it as subframe and wishbones, track rod ends.... need swapping so I know it will be thrown out again lol is it easy/doable to track it myself so it's close enough to se if it's that?

    Wheel wobble

    Really? When I googled it, I know Google doesn't know everything, everywhere said tracking was not a direct cause. It was my first thought as its had new wishbones so chances are tracking is out

    Wheel wobble

    So yesterday I got new tyres all round and got the wheels balanced. I drove it for the first time (tyres were perished so didn't risk it) since buying it and get wheel wobble between 60 and 70. Obviously should be able to rule out tyres and balancing, what else could cause it? They said the...
