Ok thanks guys...I am planning on getting a full service including all fluids, sparkies everything. Then i was thinking front mount, then a boost controller.

This is my theory.

There is an aftermarket BOV placed before the stock BOV. The aftermarket has a vac line with a plastic tee but is not connected anywhere. When i checked it out i revved it the aftermarket bov (trumpet) wasnt making noise? so i was like wtf i checked where the vac line was connected and it was just hanging. I believe that there is a small leak in vacuum which made the car not come on boost as hard as i would have thought.

P.S - When i test drove the car it was about 28 degrees, the pod filter is quite dirty + there was 3 people in the car...and it still pulled quite well...so i was impressed..also no smoke when revving..its very clean.

I am hopefully picking up the car this afternoon, and am very excited. I need to plug the vac line in somewhere but i just dont know where. ill get some pics as soon as i can.

Looking forward to becoming an inputting member of these forums! and yes i will use the search function :P

With the coolant bottle, is that necessary? also u think i can get one from the wreckers?

The interior is very clean...and it goes well..

there is a guy who sells them on ebay for like $40. i would get it it. just collects the coolent from leaking out when ur car gets hot and recirculates it.

anyways good luck with it dude. make sure u get it checked. i just bought one and i took it to IS motors and he took one look at it and pointed heaps of faults.
