looks the same as my old set up. it is useful though when things go pear shaped loosing boost and troubleshooting etc and looks cool.

you need the fault read and the boost to work out the fault. i thought it was the n75 there is another valve can't remember the name but they are easy to change and cheap. using boost issues are split pipes ive found.

when my turbo went, no boost at all, it was a small penny valve thing in the turbo that basically came off.
