Hello, It won't be the exhaust I'm pretty sure. It sounds like you're not getting any vacuum to the vane actuator to me. In Vcds you can run an "output test", but I'd check you have a vacuum source at the n75, and that you're sure it's all wired up and plumbed together. Check for vacuum t...

Hello, common culprit is the thermostatic t-piece and o-ring seal on the fuel filter, but could be lots of things. I'd fit a non-return valve in any case just before the IP - air ingress can be hard to track down. Copper seals on the IP, main seal on the IP itself, bleed-off pipes and badly fitting...

makes sense... time to go plumb it in...
