hmm had it fitted for over a week now :/

No lights even have the blanking plate fitted although i have lost alot of boost but i think thats down to the bodge pipe work the previous owner done with the dump valve

That or the blanking plate is not fully tight yet

if you are losing boost the light will come on i think, check all the pipework, and make sure the plate is tight or you'll lose power

Yea to be honest after choopin g and changing about 3 times now its like riding a bike! easy after awhile , trick is too jack the car up so you can get underneath easily , the rest is easy .

I now have the DV back on as i think the valve is broken slighly bent aswell! , running with no problems and no lights on
