adam kelly fitted it this saturday afternoon

and i took it for a drive... it drives perfect, gearbox feels fine, theres no knocks or bangs coming from anywhere, so i reckon i just sheared a drive shaft and the diff and box are fine

Today while i was driving along the cars BOV started making a flutter valve noise rather than the standard blow off - i checked the 007p and the middle hose has split (the smallest one), if i remember right this is used to actuate the valve using air right? so i'm guessing the air is forcing itself out

The fluttering noise isn't from air forcing itself past the valve, it's the compressor wheel in te turbo stalling because all the excess air isn't been blown off. All the air is backing up and basically locking the compressor wheel. If your going to drive it I wouldn't boost it
