Well some good news 
I cleaned out my intercooler and boost pipes a few weeks ago, and they are still clean now, so perhaps the turbo is not gone, as there is no smoke on boost, and it runs spot on.
I have removed the baileys dump valve as it gave me nothing but problems, I think mine might of been leaking, was getting hesistation and power loss, and a silly noise squeeking noise sometimes (Not the actual dumping noise itself  )
So ill be getting a FMIC and whiteline RARB next

Been hunting for some for a while, if i cant find any painted in the right colour in the next week or two then im just going to get my black ones painted.
Bonus is coming in from work soon, which will pay for the intercooler and RARB. What to buy next?
