This is the first time it’s happened and from cold yes. I was hoping it would liven up once it has warmed up on the journey but nothing happened. Just felt as though it was running NA
Just been on a drive and had no boost what so ever. I can hear induction noise as though the turbo is spooling but not getting any power what so ever. This lends me to think there is a leak somewhere On the cold side. However I did also find this f**ker which was wrapped in tape. Hard to tell...

- FMIC (which makes stage 2 plausible)
- The car has been fitted with an LPG system
- Very short shifter
- Recaros have been removed...
