Following on from another question, what are the best checks to see the turbo is OK on these cars? Chap said he fitted (ebay) turbo a while ago and has happily done 1.5k miles since, and sounded like an honest bloke to me. I have had a few cars in my time, but not had a turbo...would...

Hi All, I’m wondering if we could collectively put together a useful reference document of vac/boost pipes to check for leaks and the size of silicone hosing required to replace them (where applicable). I’m doing this for 2 reasons, selfishly I have a boost leak and would like to use the...
