Hiya, a few of us have them on here. Most important thing is to get them running right before tuning them up.
Start saving your pennies for a Turbo back exhaust as they make a massive difference. Very Happy

Mine has stalled until some warmer weather, I need to spend some serious days with it to fit the clutch and new turbo.

best thing to do is get ur car running and get some carb cleaner and spray around ur intake system / secondary air system/ pipes etc and if there is a leak the engine note will change is it burns the carb cleaner

make any sense??

also it will be worth getting it on a vag com / 5150 and check fault codes

Engine light coming on intermittently could be caused by a boost leak, though they stay on usually. A lot of these cars have them and the owners don't find out about it. Mine was so bad that the light never went out.
