Afternoon,
I noticed that the boost gauge only just goes into the yellow, whereas it used to go well into the yellow and on occasion would just touch the red. I know the gauge may not be the best measurement of actual boost, but it doesn't do something that it used to do.
Johnny's blog suggested that the SEM boost solenoid was prone to failure and he did replace his, with a Turbosmart one. The OEM one looks like a fairly cheap bit of plastic.
Has anybody replaced theirs ?
German suppliers quote a very reasonable €1500 for a part that is listed at £70, although are there any left ?
Thanks
Del
