The air supply from the pump doesn\'t go anywhere near the turbos, it feeds the cat below about 2000rpm via the Air Control Valve (ACV). Aren\'t you running de-cat with a stock ECU? That might account for the high emmissions.

Hey mikeyh

As Millspeed said the Airpump feeds air into the cat at lower revs to help with emmissions, if you are running with a decat it serves no purpose. Try having the injectors cleaned and a new fuel filter, I have this problem every year at MOT time and that always sorts it.
