Im glad i read that...explains how the n75 and wastegate work...
Wastegate knackered?

u said u have already tried opening the wastegate by hand (by pulling the rod from the actuator)...
did u feel it sticking?? its held closed by a spring, so will have some resistance, but did it seem to open freely??
and did u hear the "click" noise of it closing?

When i pulled on the rod it was quite tuff...
Heard no clicking but will do it again 2morro to make sure i havent missed owt

Im running out of ideas next step for me is MAP sensor then il go from there
Will listen for the click 2morro

i hope so..Otherwise i think im gonna trade it in for a vxr lol But i love the cupra...Just feeling dis-heartend with it 
So is it worth me gettin a now k03,actutor and wastegate for 50quid posted? its done 55k miles?

Lol your up early aint you david
Yeah Just waiting for this MAP sensor to come ffs then i can rule that out...Cant think what is causeing it to over boost...My gauge is useless...So bought a new one in psi..

Todays work..
Replaced all the Vac pipes & replaced Gauge pipe and Moved the Air filter over to the wing abit more...
Gonna get the bay steamed cleans and start polishin it im also gonna remove the engine cover brackets and get a TT short shifter and im gonna buy the forge tip aswell and breather filter also..
...Im gonna stand by it and get this sorted...
TToThec:
No mate he was just off pistonheads but the adverts long gone..
The Actuator rod does move with abit of resistance and does click when you let it go..
Im also gettin **** Mpg to aroun 87miles to 20quid town driving..

never mind... i just thought that if he had been on a forum u could have searched through his old posts
the wastegate sounds like its closing ok... but we dont know this for sure
it could still be the actuator... if the diaphram in it has a split then the n75 wont be able to open the actuator properly... but id wait until u have ruled out the MAP sensor as i think that could well be cause

yeah few people think its the MAP Sensor underreadin hence it way overboosting..
Do them pipes look alright and is the n249bypass correct?

Interesting...my n75 plug one of the wires are bare....
And this the correct setting for my acuator?

Is my actuator pipes in the correct way....Adam did mention a while back when we 1st did the bypass that my pipes looked weird piccys...Do u have one that goes to the n75 and the other joins in to the Bypass?
ON MINE THE PIPES ON THE ACTUATOR ARE THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!!
on the top pic, the pipe nearest the camera goes to the bypass (plugged off on mine) and the pipe furthest away goes to the n75!!!
this could be the problem as each of theose pipes works on the actuator in different ways... they are each side of the diagram, so one opens the actuator with pressure, the other with a vacuum!!!
get on it!! switch them over!!
