Have you sorted the pipes in the bay and done the bypass yet?

Looking at the pic that looks a right mess, bound to be somthing there messing with your running.

On the limp mode issue - how do you know your in limp?

Yesterday I booted mine (up to temp BTW) and the traction control kicked in ans the power died, as it does, but it was sharpe and now I have no boost at all.

Driving the car home and to work today I am in all gears and there is just nothing. Feels like driving plain old 1.8 - No Turbo. Is this limp?

No engine lights, No bangs, knocks, rattles, smoke...nothing. Just no boost, no power.
