Re: Hesitation under initial boost
Unfortuantely its not just the caps that cause the issues.
They leak and corrode the tracks so 9/10 you will have to repair tracks too.

Re: Clutch slipping question.
Sounds like the fluid was boiling to me.
Refresh the clutch fluid and while your at it replace the line for a braided one.
My turbo did the same on track and once i did the above i never have another problem

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 2 turbo wont start. Help
bridge fp and b+ on diag port to bypass fuel pump relay.
If that dont work then put 12v directly to fuel pump under the ash tray.
If that still doesnt work then fuel pump is knackered
