Cant see it myself. However, stock meg manifold flows alright so id stick with that on the td04 hybrid turbos.
The megane hybrid turbos are not the most reliable overall though, what boost pressure is it mapped for?
Oil pressure and flow decent to the turbo? Any boost leaks making the turbo...
Vehicle speed not available seems to flag up quite often but no warning light.
Id say its a safe bet its sensor or wiring issue if the other one wont clear.

Cheers mate! I love the look of the compomotives on it.
Cheers mate! I did underestimate the work required to this initially but its getting there now. I thought i could turn it around in a weekend or so but definitely not the case.
As for selling it, i might let it go in the new year. I had a...
