Well after having a couple of disappointing rolling road results, i was determined to investigate the reason why.

me being me, took it to the Garage, yep you guessed it Votex in Congleton.

And i must say after a new MAF and also finding a major boost leak between the Charge Pipe and Forge Turbo Hose, the car now feels as strong as it ever has.

The car can now sit back happily in the garage.

Big thanks again to Mike and Keith.

Fantastic! Like getting a new car again isn't it

You going to rolling road it to see if results have improved?

Yes, tbh, there is no point to me going to a different RR, all my runs have been done at Awesome, so i would prefer to wait till another RR day so i can compare.

It always drove ok actually so i was never overly disappointed with it, but there definitly is a difference in how it performs now.

The thing is, with boost leaks and MAF failures they can get gradually worse over time. So it's not like a night and day difference when it goes wrong, just a steady decrease in performance that you get used to just as quickly. It's not until it's working properly again that you realise quite how bad it's gotten
