Update! I was worried that the coil packs were playing up as I was getting an engine management light. I went and met Tom who met me half way to his in order to read the code. Very grateful for coming out mate.
Overboost. Apparently you can have too much boost... Quick bit of research and brought up that this is usually solved by the boost control solenoid/valve being replaced. Niall and Grant and co looked over the engine at Ace and couldnt find any leaking vacuum hoses. Just a noisy injector.
I ordered a new BCV and went for the cheapest on ebay. £17 not £26 and it arrived and it was a genuine GM item in a sealed and holographed box. Took 5 minutes to swap it over and its back to full performance!
Worry over!

Next thing to do will be to put some reflective tape over the water reservoir as these love to crack as they are located above the turbo. Also need to get a tow bar fitted! Looking to get the detachable swan neck type so I can remove it and look good.
I also found when I went to cancel the 1.8 insurance that I had 5 years NCB not 4. So ive updated that in my policy. Changed it for free and Ive got a £42 refund coming my way which means insurance is £550 fully copy for the year. Epic!
