Nothing specific - just that yes, I am getting a noise which sounds like a minor version of the hooter valve blowing off, but all the time, and we've checked and replaced just about anything else that might be leaking air so the wastegate and actuator are next. It needs adjusting anyway as base boost is only about .3 bar after fitting the JT exhaust.
The car's going in next week so will report on any progress after that.
By the way, I have bought a cheapo boost gauge with figures on and find I can plug it onto the manifold and lead the plastic tube though the door seals so the gauge sits just inside the windscreen, by the door mirror. Good enough for a short blast, anyway. Anyone who wants to borrow, please email (mind you, it only cost £20).
