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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
