Well ive just taken a piccy of what i have under the bonnet, can anyone identify if I have the FBU?? (Ignore the blue hose, that is my boost gauge sender!) - It was overboosting before this was...
Ok cool cheers, i'll have a check tonight and probably put a photo of the solenoid / surrounding area later on!

Blimey cheers for the inputs guys, not sure which way to start! I suppose I should double check if the FBU has been done (anyone know how to check before I trawl through the old threads?!). I may...
I've had a problem since fitting my front pipe in that that car is doing the usual boost/fuel cut in second and third gear. However, i've fitted a boost gauge this afternoon and took it down the...

Yeah he's just walked around it and is very impressed, leather is mint, its completely standard, no rust, dents etc..... I've already bagged the leather if he buys it!!!!
I did think that all UK ones were turbo'd but thought id check. I did tell him that i thought it will be worth 4k+ to sell on but thought id check with you chappies!! Hard to see if it needs work...
As above a mate of mine is at the local car auctions and an s14a is about to go through which he quite fancies but doesnt want to pay too much!!
