Just be methodical and do one pipe at a time, making sure you check the solenoids as you go as well.

i have replaced alot of it and i am quite confident with the car and it gets quite cosy under there after a while (if the weather was better and i didnt get a backache every time ) but i havent got a mityvac here to test any of the solonoids + taking some bits off is just guess work for me & i just wanted to be sure.

i think i will do the entire thing soon, but first i need to get my problems fixed - its booked in on wednesday anyway.

the probelems have gone from hesitation to boost spike type symptoms sometimes hitting 0.91 then fuel cut i think - before it used to be hesitation but i am just confused now!

Hmm, could that possibly be issues with the wastegate or the turbos now rather than vacuum? Do you have a straight through exhaust and no PFC or something? Oh well at least it\'s booked in

no decat etc, no obvious reason but symptoms were bad hesitation so i changed many things, plugs, wastegate & pre control solenoid, hoses, ecu etc but i still had some hesitation then after a few boosts 0.5 bar boost restriction.

i have only put my foot down a little recently because i have been worried about detonation due to either a bad earth not providing enough spark or dodgy injector sticking etc (and the sheer amount of snow!)  but when i did a little yesterday i got 0.75 bar sometimes then 0.91 once and then 0.85 for a while but only the primary was spiking?

Make sure you cut the pipes off the Solanoids (they are plastic and Snap real easy)
