iv been told that my inlet could be causing the stutter when i pull off and all i need to do is clean it, so im having a go at cleaning it myself,
iv took the plastic cover off and im going to take the inlet off. iv took this pipe off and its got some gunky stuff, does this mean my head gaskets gone???
now i imagine this is some sort of oil breather and i guess this is making the inlet get dirty as the pipe in the plastic leads to the inlet.
can anyone give me any tips as what to take off and what not to take off? or any easy routes of doing this?

That's sucking in a shitload of oil  That butterfly should be clean I'd have thought.

Mine was a bit like that. I cleaned the oil breather pipe up and the hole it went into in the plenum and left it. Couldn't be bothered taking it to bits

takes 15 mintues max to get it off, but youll get it off in 7 mins if you can replace valves

it feels faster too, i think its down to it revving better in the lower rev range and im used to it being shit and stuttering before i pick up speed
