So after many weeks of heart ache and frustration from taking all the piping off checking for cracks, leaks, punctures, etc etc etc. I finally took it into FPT and you're not going to believe what it was......

I installed some sh*tty ebay spec led parker bulbs a while ago and they were apparently tricking the computer to think that it was in reverse, hence low boost and throttle body opening letting out boost. A few runs on the dyno and replacement of parker bulbs has FINALLY fixed her! :thumbs-up:

You get what you pay for.

There was a conversation on here a while back about led globes doing funny things to cars.

 

So led globes affect the engines operation and rooted coils affect the zf trans before the engine misfires. Who woulda thunk it?!
