Hello everyone, Last week, I accidently snapped one of the maf connectors long end(n02)-see picture and lost it, car start jurttering. So I unplugged the maf and its fine. can some one please send me the right replacement link so I can repair it please. Thanks very much.

car drives fine now, very good, first time with no manifold boost leak and engine sounds good.

just a quick update, this is the first long distance highway driving and since manifold leak and turbo stuck issues has been fixed. The sound of engine is great. and the car spools up much quick. I hear no sound at 15psi but once hit toward 20psi i can hear shhh. sound. Also the traction light...

he went bankrupted only lasted 2 years, now his premises becomes a car wash station. Aftall, it was not a warped manifold and it was not a fuel pump.

ok, turbo pulled out . and air blow the turbo and found another piece of gasket that was jammed in the exhaust side-something I knew hanging on the exhaust channel. No damage on my turbo since no other debris found....and we will see when they put the turbo back and should I gain the boost...and...

ok just a quick update, mechanic checked the blade at station, yes it stuck but when you wriggle it, it unstuck. Soon as car start it stuck again. so the good news is the fact is conformed. and turbo will come out this week, at least there is no shaft movement and hopefully nothing too serious...

just a quick update, i dropped the car in, the mechanic was a bit reluctant to pull the turbo out, and kept saying the turbo is fine when he checked and repaired the manifold gasket. But I told him, the blade is not turning, sort of stuck but can be unstuck when you anticlock wise the chra then...

guys, i just about to start the engine with out intake and i tried to move the blade, and it is stuck,,,i reckon some broken bites like gasket if not some one droped somthing in it, so now i have to take the turbo out next week and remove it carefully. What a nightmare....

I used 3 new oem audi bolt. he mechanic is busy this week, but next monday is the dday if i dnt get things work out. so i am going to run idle with intake off to see if blades are turning....wish me with the positive results... will update soon

ok,,,this will make him go crazy, because he told me he put lots loctite in for the three turbo nuts..now he has to remove again. Anyway, just before I saw this I actually unplug n75 and also did 2 separate runs with out maf plugged in, bothy showing no differences in performance, but still...

i will do one more test, unplug n75 see any boost come up...

i will check again tommorow i might have to lean the car and get vacum clear to suck it out.. i reckon its fried sealant putty-white colour.
