[Mk2] [Turbo] Boost pipe mess

Post by IceVirus »

I brought the car last weekend and the shaft in the turbo had gone now it has had the turbo replaced with a st205 fitted it all and finished this after noon and boy what a xxxx car to work on. The car had a mbc on it when i got it no idea of what boost. The vacuum pipes where all in a mess and it had a bov on it but i cant fit that till i get a flange welded on the intercooler pipe . i have the stock recirc valve on it but i just wanna start with it all stock again then sort out a mbc here the first pic

As you can see you are also missing the little VTV Valve / filter, this is needed for the stock valve to work

Since the car has had an MBC fitted it would have been fitted between the Turbo and Actuator pipe and them 2 unblocked pipes should have been blocked. Are you planning on putting the MBC back on or running stock boost?
