So, GT's not been driving right since I got it. Would have lag, then a boost, then run into a brick wall at about 3.3k revs. So took it to Peak Alfa. They diagnosed turbo dying, so put on a new (recon) turbo, new boost sensor and a remap, as well as EGR delete and blank. Had a call from...

I took my GTV in to the garage today as there was a squeak that was coming from the rear. It turns out I need two new rear discs/pads, and new rear wheel bearing and two new front tyres - sounds like its going to be an expensive month :cry:
