Lost quite a few kw as well.Checked the plumbing and everything seems ok. I'll take the crossover off in the morning just in case it's under there, I may even try removing the bov altogether to isolate that as well.The bov vacuum line looks fine, as does the guage line and T piece. I'm hoping it's not a loose intake manifold? Car just back from service as well, hmm.Any ideas anyone?

Pulled the crossover off and checked EVERYTHING, it was only when I looked down into the throttle body I saw the inner rubber on the TB side was folder underneath.They were good enough to replace the 3 broken crossover rubbers, hmm I better check to see if they charged me for those, but failed to replace the crossover back properly.Thanks for that.....I'm still laughing.Think I'll have a chat to them on Monday.
