    In my 3B they are in the fuse box.

      Happy

      Well after changing every thing you could change, boost leak testing until me compressor gave up, I still was only getting 1 bar of boost, I decided enough was enough and left her on my drive. After about 3 weeks I thought I would have another go. Didnt want to change anything seeing as it had all been changed, decided to start stripping things back. Started with the loom to the MFTS and low and behold about 2 inches into the Loom I had a corroded wire. replaced the wire with some nice new 4 core and WOW she is now pulling like a steam locomotive 1.4 bar of boost and scaring everything in sight. Its nice to have her back.

          Nice on Nik.
          In love with the car again? Lets hope it lasts now.

          One of the first things I said was to check the MFTS and connections.

          I missed this thread. My S2 had the connectors missing when I first had it. Someone hadn't put the plugs back after the dash panel was removed, so they were hiding in behind.
          Have you found them Nik?
