Cheers mate
That's what I didn't like either mate. Rest of the car was wired though!
Off boost near enough the same as with the cat, it's just much more vocal when you squeeze the pedal. Not heard massive pops or bangs, but haven't given the car a big workout yet
Cheers for the comment mate, she does shift!
Yeah come on Tom get those vids up
I'm going round Darren's tomorrow so maybe I could sort something if there's time
Can now say that I am happy with the sound of the system now, perfect for me!
Update..
Got to Darren's earlier with 2 007p service kits and a yellow spring for my 007p..
When the DV was opened up, I did guess this might be the case - turns out the green spring has been in there as I had thought lol.. Not ideal for stage 2 and the boost she's kicking out.
So with the DV apart it looked as though it could do with a service, so the new piston went in, new 'O' rings and a full re-grease up. Same was done to Darren's after mine. I noticed a difference almost instantly, boost held better and the car pulled harder/faster as a result
Can't believe I had the green spring in there still. The DV had done well though for nearly 2 years without a service. Not bad going IMO.
Some pics from today:
The car felt decent on the way home. Still not 100% in my book, but I think the boost leak is causing this and if it's not that, it'll be the MAF or N75.
Can MAF's be intermittent in that one minute they will perform fine, then not? I know they can fail completely and either under/over read G/S readings. But the car was logged for G/S at AmD and it pulled 206 g/s which is approx 250-260bhp BUT I didn't get near the red line. Should have done now I know...
Anyway, I think as it's the standard old MAF on a 2005 car I will replace it but one night this week I will unplug the MAF and run it without to see if it's any better or worse to see if I can pinpoint it.
Also ordering something else this week but I'll post a pic up once it's collected....

Yeah I've got the 3" downpipe on mine. No massive pops or bangs bet, but she is down on power slightly still for whatever reason..Could be MAF/N75 as my next steps to cover once I've checked again for boost leaks.

I see I see, well hopefully it'll be sorted for you to enjoy the Decat. As said I'm itching to put mine back on
But desprately need & want a 3" DP hehehe
You got the sfs tip through yet??? Why don't you swap mafs over with your mate for a few hours just to see if that makes a difference, maybe save you buying a new part that's not needed.

Yeah cheers mate, it sounds good I just want her back to full power really so it's as vocal as it can be.
3" downpipe's are good mate, get it done
Nope still not through mate!
Taking forever but hopefully this week, lol.. been saying that for the last few weeks haha!Good idea on the MAF tbh. I will ask around and see if I can swap over with someone else soon. I'm also going to run it without the MAF connected to see what that does..
