Ditto - does anyone find that it feels like it\'s \'holding back\'. As if, all of a sudden, it\'s pulling a heavy load. That\'s how I best describe the problem I\'m having. I\'ve long thought that it was the pipes.

From what ive found out so far it changes turbos at 41/2k revs,thats where mine starts loosing power,its either the solanoid or the rubber pressure equalizing pipes that perrish,ill let you know when ive got it nailed.
