Hmm vacuum host replacement. What's a good way to replace it on a shoestring? Reckon a load of that transparent water hose from DIY stores would work?

i would look at the boost pressure sensor on the top of the intercooler as well. if that doesnt register boost you wont get fuel as the ecu wont 'see' it.

thats the thing though, ive read off the live data while driving and it is seeing the boost when its there, though when there is no power it sees no boost as there is none
