hang on? tip pipe? you mean the one at the back top of engine bay wrapped in silver heat proof wrapping ? you have a lcr right?
Sorry didn't make myself clear, I new what I ment ! I was worried The other chap was looking at the tip, not the , Charge pipe elbow where I think my leak is!
Right lets clear a few things up.....
Been out under the lcr for a good hour looking at all boost pipes....
think i found a leak on the top red (seat) silcon pipe ,that goes to the turbo on the top of the engine i peeled the heat sheild wrap of it and as it bends there are too tiny splits in it, almost like a (snake bite)
the part number on it was 06a 145 832L ,and there was i tiny bit of black soot on the back of the heat wrap next to the split.!! looking at the split u could see past the red rubber,and see strands of brown fibre,i presume its leaking from here does anyone no the price of this back elbow??
going back to the plugs fitted 12 months ago ish, the cahp who fitted them for me said that they had come preset form seat for the lcr??
so there was no need to alter the spark gap???
i was none the wiser???
chatting to a local tunning garage , and they said thats rubbish the plugs would have to be set to the lcr?
im still none the wiser?!!
if the gaps were wrong woulndt they have played up sooner??
come to think of it just after i got my remap done i can remember it miss firing very faintly in 5th gear @3900 to 43000 revs,then clearing?!
the lcr drives fine at the mo, apart from the fluttering boost at high speed (hence 18 19 20,18 19 20) is what the boost is doing. and the faint miss fire in 5th gear so my point is are the plugs preset? or do they have to be set when fitted?
so where are we on the plugs?
ok here is a update. Lcr is with TSR at the moment.
so far they have found 2 boost leaks. witch is great.
and have done some runs on the rr and found my stage one map from someone else is no good.
(in wales) (cheap arse reamps dont work) be warned
so i went for the REVO stage 1 map.
but my 225lcr only made 245bhp,peaking at 1.5bar of boost,then tailing dropping back to 1.3bar by 3k revs. the turbo was trying to make as much power as possible,but cant give anymore due to a problem somewhere.
(note all coil packs maf n75 valves lambarda valves sparkplugs are all fine &boost hoses)Dv/is working fine too..
no fault codes showing at this time.
so they have looked at the catalyic converter and all seems fine with it..
they are going to run some more logs tomorrow & c where we go from there.
they say its possible that my aquator may be letting by stopping the turbo from giving full performance.
lets hope they find the problem soon....
if anyone has any ideas please shed some light asap cheers..
But i must say TSR are fantastic nice people to deal with, and give me every confidence they will sort the problem..and i must say im impressed with there service so far.... thanks tsr..

What symptoms you got mate? Got a thread about it?
Yes mate take it to tsr! Don't take it to the other place we were talking about! They are not as clues up as I fort! Ring tsr speak to rob!!!
I think I will have to, although I don't have a second car to use in the meantime. Might be able to borrow a car.
Kineticz, I have the same symptoms as you did. Low on power and boost surges. Got a new recirc DV on the way. Think I've got a boost leak too.

I could have a look if you want ben??
My car made 251 bhp and I'm hoping once the ecu has learnt from the revo I should see to 260bhp
I'm happy big improvement from what I was running.
Only prob is I can't get there to pick it up? Right sorted the lift thanks to Dre !
Can't wait to drive the lcr........
