Hi all,

I did briefly mention my problem when I introduced myself on here a few days ago.

But here goes:

* Test drove the car well, took it out for a good run. - All perfect
* Went back to the dealer, sorted few bits of paperwork and brought the car.

* About 10 minutes after the initial test drive, drove it 100 miles back to Worthing (non-stop) - All perfect.

* Parked at the pub to go show it off to my friends. :InLove
* About 30 minutes later, went to drive home - No boost, sluggish and when I put my foot down it just burped, backfired and felt like it was going to stall until I take my foot off the (not so) loud pedal.

I can hear the 1st turbo spooling up, but 100% not doing anything.
If I slowly push down on the accelerator, the revs slowly rise (any sudden movements and the car backfires etc again until I release the pedal).

* Left the car over-night (Good 11/12 hours). In the morning, took it for a drive, warmed her up. - All perfect again.

* Turn off engine, left for 2 hours, back to being terrible again.

The car is now with Jason at Super7Autos for this problem, a service and changing the HKS airfilters over for standard airbox.

He seems like a top fella and VERY knowledgeable, but just thought I would post on here to see what you experts think :)

Look forward to your responses! :bandit
