Yesterday myself and mainly my brother did this
And now it works again
With no "spare" parts laying around?
On Sunday I did a Mr Muscle turbo clean followed by an Italian tune up, turbo spools nicely, doesn't spike to anything above 1.6bar (Cupra diesel) and and I'm sure it has a slightly deeper tone to it now too!
Today I've cleaned out my airbox as my cold air feed sucks in a fair bit of debris, and used a spare bit of silicon hose to make a better seal from the cold air feed to the box

Spent a heap on a service and new secondary air pump. Old one couldn't be fixed, but looks like VW have rectified their faulty rivet design with the new version.
My '05 LCR with 102K on it is in the garage today for changing OSF wheel bearing, both drop links replacing, cambelt & water pump change, coolant sensor, thermostat, brake fluid change, replacing blown 40A fuse for the cooling fans to see if I still have any in working condition. All that plus hopefully they have time to find an annoying knock from offside rear roughly comes and goes at 30mph.

Do you have to take turbo out for that or do it in place thought about cleaning mine out
get chatting to AET turbos mate there pretty good as well,dunno bout cr turbos read few things bout them.......as compared to AET,i brought my turbo off them
You do it in situ mate, it's quite fiddly and a bit of a tight squeeze though, even with small Welsh hands!
That centre console arrived today mate, cheers again!
going to be cutting the backbox off nd putting some pipe and a tip as replacement ... then a few little mods and a well needed wash
No worrys might have a crack at that at some point although think my turbo leaks oil. Need to do some investigation there
Got my Toyosports (Wellycooler) FMIC fitted yesterday by Jonny at Mays Garage near Scarborough on recommendation by googujube, he did a great job and well happy, definitely recommend him!
Undid the crap N249 bypass with the FPR inline and re-did properly and removed a hell of alot of pipe and ****
Also sorted the top mounts and bearings....hell of a difference!

Yeah looked awesome! I didnt feel any difference on the drive home until I restarted the car and ecu must of adapted, left battery off for an hour when I got back and yeah theres quite a difference much more mid range pull and pulls harder, if not a little laggier when shifting through the gears at pace but all in all well impressed, off to badger5 for my map in march hopefully! !
