Audisrs are having a run out around Cornwall in memory of one of their members who passed recently, Ben(pastyman) was a Subaru owner as well as Audi and was a top bloke, the drive would be from fraden up the A39 into mid Cornwall and back (map to follow).

The Audi lads are a great bunch and have a love of cars of allsorts, been out with them a few times and has always been fun with a few spirited blasts, the drive will be 9th of September, more details to follow.
Anybody interested pm me or put your names down below.

Hey sorry to interupt but need some advice. I've got a 99 turbo estate (mica blue) i've not had it long, its not been used much. On accelerating as soon as it starts to boost 3k revs ish it starts holding bk. I cleaned the K&N which was minging and fitted a boost gauge coz I didnt know wat it was doing, then the problem started. Since then I have had a new maf sensor fitted and a complete standard air box fitted. Took it up the road still the same im no expert on these and not a mechanic but willing to try anything ANY SURGESTION plz??? I also live in Cornwall lol

Hi I refitted the boost gauge to see what was happening coz the turbos spinning and building up pressure but not boosting coz up spluttering so much and the boost gauge is going up to nearly a bar but the needle is bouncing like crazy. Any ideas???? ;-(
