Good news all!
For some reason, the car is running a LOT better today! Only thing I can put it down to is that I've been running 98RON fuel since I got it, and that may have cleaned an injector or etc.
At any rate, I'm a much happier chappy
Perhaps, your best bet is to install a boost gauge like has been said so you can have a look for yourself, a pod will help you listen to it. The way these engines spool is really smooth though, the boost doesn't hit you in the face like a lot of imports and the like

They should only be having 98 ron, anything less and youll have issues and dash lights go on.
Hey all,
I just had a major service done and the car is now running like a rocket!
The only things I can put it down to was the exhaust manifold was tightened and the battery terminals were cleaned.
Just thought I'd share, because it has made such a big difference.
Who done it and how much?

And as quick as it came, it went. Still going well, but nowhere near as well as it did first time I drove it after service.
I'm wondering if the ignition system needs attention. Plugs/Leads/Coilpack/Battery. Any diagnostic tips would be much appreciated!
Have you got any warning lights coming up on the dash or any error codes.
Also, careful with tightening the exhaust manifold bolts. They don't need very much torque at all (apparently the TIS specifies only 8Nm, leave sit for 5 mins and then re-check torque). If you've overtightened these, then you may want to check your manifold isn't cracked.

No warning lights coming on.
I took it for a spin without the airbox on just to see how it sounds. A lot of turbo whine under load, but the blow off noise is very fluttery. I'm thinking the dump valve may need looking at. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you think it's the dump valve, take it out and check for cracks in the valve housing and any deterioration in the rubber diaphragm.
It's in a bitch of a place if you have Ac and requires a bit of trickery with a 5mm Allen key to remove.
If it's damaged, let me know, I have a brand new OE valve that'll keep you going for the time being. Either that or drop the cash on a Turbosmart Kompact Shortie recirc valve.
