Ha ha, yes bit more cluttered on the turbo side of the engine for us!
Thanks for your reply.
I currently have the MBC between the compressor and the wategate - so just disconnect it after the MBC and plug it? Will give it a try - being gentle with the throttle.
As for the vacuum - It's hard to tell if that's the gauge (it is a cheap one) or if it's actually the engine pulling vacuum. When I disconnected the gauge and did the finger over the end test, I didn't actually feel any suction...it just felt like the boost being pushed through stopped suddenly.
Good point about the fuel - it could be an electronic shut-off - never know what trickery they've put in these later UK cars. Although, it doesn't really feel like it loses that much power when it happens though.
Manifold - there is nothing in the TIC inlet manifold like the T manifold - would have seen it when I did the headgasket. Got an N/A manifold to go on soon anyway, once I've sorted out a couple of boost hoses and a reducer.
Will try what you've suggested and get back to you.
