Passed with flying colours. Only problem, still not running right, blew another boost pipe off, not boosting right. Post up a pic in a bit of my engine bay incase anyone sees anything wrong?

make sure the boost pipe is clean when ya go to put it back, if its oil on the inside it'll just pop off again.. use brake cleaner or something similar to clean the oil off both bits, and spray hairspray on the bit it goes onto, and refit... no more popping off!!

Cleaned all pipes up, alos tried swapping the pipe over on the actuator as i'm running the cup mod, and she goes now :D. something as silly as a pipe on wrong, my own fault :ashamed:.

thanks to everyone for their help :agree:
