hose popped off somewhere? check all the intercooler hoses, the turbos-charge pipe hose, the tip even

as u just had the exhaust fitted check all the studsare holding the downpipe onto the turbo

could it be to do with lamba sensors if 1 of them has fallen off?

found somet else now when you put you foot down it jerks forward before it start to go like is a misfire.

checked all the hose's seem all attached. is it possiable 1 of the pipe may have burst, i did notice after i had exhaust fitted it was boosting alot higher than id did before was at like 20psi

thats what revo should be hitting, i hit 21/22psi quite regularly

it could be maf (it could be anything) with maf atleast u can unplug it and see if it makes any difference. but again this wouldnt go bang.

and now you mentioned misfire...possible a coilpack is on its way out

if theres nothing visible then like i said u could unplug the maf and give it a try or u really need vagcom

thats why investing in vagcom is very sensible when you have a laptop, atleast when something goes wrong you can diagnose the problem your self and it can be alot cheaper at times when the work required is something you could have done yourself
