    Haven't done more than 800km since we got back from Sydney on the 2nd Jan
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    This might seem like a noob question, but what is a 'turbo vacuum box'?

    Nope, the C22SEL in my Vectra. Looks like a less jizz worthy Z20LET

    I'm guessing you're referring to the rear boost control solenoid box on the rear of the engine, just under the intake manifold. It limits boost in the first couple of gears to help with traction.

    Probably is that..
    What happens if it get blocked/stops working properly? Do you get much lower boost pressure all the time?
