The seller is a power seller and has a feedback of 99.4% so they must be doing somthing right for only £23 it wouldnt be a great loss. Personaly i would try it.

Its not a Blagg, however it is a Bleed valve in Discuise........ Its a very good quality one. Increasing your boost without altering your fuelling can only lead to one end result. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/02/05april/deadscooby006.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/02/05april/deadscooby001.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/05april/cruisewirral18009.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/02/05april/deadscooby010.jpg)

Not sure if that will work on the new VW motors. Is the actuator phicically controlled by the inlet pressure? The new VAG motors run an extra valve which the ECU uses to monitor boost pressure - as soon as it detects summut wrong (ie extra boost) the ECU takes over and limits the boost. If your car has this, a bleed valve wont be an option. Try somewhere like Revo - they specialise in the VAG turbo motors and ECU tuning  Im sure ive posted about this before for gadgets car - it'll be on the BB somewhere 
What If There Were No Hypothetical Questions?

Have been looking at getting a boost guage, but now i have found these and i`m a little undecided...
This will will fit on the centre of the steering column...

Where as this one, is taking up a din size storage compartment above my climate control and stereo ( Was gonna usee this for a fold out screen) but this is nice, wouldn`t know what gauges to put in though really...

Boost Gauge deffo, but i would put i pop-up screen in there also instead of other gauges.
If you decide to put other gauges in there i would defo use a oil pressure, air/fuel ratio and possibly oil temperature as these are probably the most important to moniter your engines performance and condition.

Right guys and girls, as some of you may know i was selling the car, but i have not been able to find a decent replacement for the money...
I still have a power problem, need to remove atmoshperic dump valve and return it to a diverter valve, and replace the MAF sensor.
Have got a new Forge diverter valve on order need new boost hose and few other hose, hopefully gonna get samco ones, as for the MAF sensor will be getting one soon.
I have decide not to go down the road of body kits etc, just had too much hassle with the saxo.
Now i`m torn between alloys???
or £350 on a remap , which will produce 200 BHP approx???
What you think??
