Turbo stutter

I've got a stock 1.8T Cupra and am having a problem with the turbo under medium or hard acceleration. The boost is literally on-off-on-off-on-off in a regular and consistent pattern. It actually makes you feel sick because it's so lurchy. Accelerating gently lessens the effect but it happens in all gears.

A scan turned up absolutely nothing (it's only done 21k). The only thing I can think of the is the N75 valve. Presumably something is sticking through lack of use.

Any ideas?

Well, ordered a new N75 so we'll see if that fixes it.

Also spotted this bodge in the top left of the engine bay. Any idea of what it is?
