Quick summary of what has been done over last couple of weeks and what im currently working on.
During the last trackday i noticed a slight loss in power, no acceleration beyond 5500rpm and top speed about 180kph :wtf:
So i tore the engine apart to find the cause(s)
Various boost leaks at different spots.
Intercooler to throttle body...

Broken and bent hoses

Replaced all these and a couple of other stuff in order to get all the boost to the cylinders.
While having everything disassembled i removed the recirculation of the factory blow off valve and modified it slightly to give me the distinctive turbo blow off sound while shifting gears :d
