Quoted before you changed it, I didn't know Asda made the vxr engine.

The Astra VXR has the LEH not LET unit, LET unit is found in the Astra Coupe Turbo and VX220 Turbo if I'm correct.

I used to own a Z20LET Corsa C about 6 months ago, what is it specifically you'd like to know?

Lmao at the asda,my bad.

To cut a long story short it's had a problem where on boost it was abit jumpy and then sometimes the service light would come on and the car goes in to limp mode,turn ignition off and back on and full boost available again and drives fine. Now the car went into a place called camco in warrington a diagnostics and turbo specialist, said they had replaced the bcs, service light came on 2 days later but no limp mode but car does not boost like it used to. Driving before and the car boosted like it did again before it went in to them, drove fine then limp mode,pulled over had a look and the vac pipe was off the top of the actuator, put pipe back on boost has gone down again, what would the pipe coming off the actuator do to make the boost increase like that? And could they just have loosened the actuator so it wasn't holding its normal boost so they didn't have to fix the problem?? I'm clutching at straws here I know but they had it for 4 days and said they cudnt find anything n but replaced the bcs,cars under warranty so didn't cost me but its abit weird that they said the reason it was boosting how it was when it went in was because of the bcs,but obviously not if it's done the same when the pipe came off the actuator.

And breath...... Sorry for the huuuuuge explanation

Thanks for any input and help
