lol corsa's saxo's and punto's if they aint modded and being driven like nobs then its standard and being driven by a 90 year old pensioner. or worse being pulled by a horse like a cart box. :S

you have just spent most of the day pissing about on SCN. You get paid to do a 10 hour working week and 30 hours pissing around on the forums or something?
Well since i don`t know what " that thing on top of the driver side suspension " is as these techie names confuse me so much best thing to do would be do a search in the TDI section as it has been discussed several times. It also depend if you get a mechanical or electronic gauge Mechanical is cheaper and easier to fit but not so accurate and can be noisy.
u know what i am on about its like the vaccum control box with loads of pipes going in to it

If it`s a black box with about six pipes comming out of it then NO unless you want to really screw your car up.
todays update...
yesterday i had a look over the engine to see if anything looked off. but couldnt see much. decided i needed to go see the revo man about getting a boost gauge... he pretty much said it would be a nightmare so he dont want to do it..
am i best to go to allards surely they done it loads of times wont take them that long?
also was thinking the only other way to check is with vag com. but revo man wants £38 to do it and my ebay cheap thing dont work so i need a local to help me out or some one point me in the direction of a cheap one please

If you want a mechanical boost gauge fitted any local tuning company should be able to fit one as it is quite a simple job if you know what you are doing. Most of the time is spent taking the dash a part so as to get through the bulkhead then putting the dash back toegther again.
