Firstly welcome to the club. Glad to hear you like your car.

Can I ask if you're running an after market BOV? Rev 1 & 2's seem to have problems with these.

Sounds more like and air / fuel problem if its happening before boost !

Although i suspose if a BOV was lodged open ! ;)

Same as te other guys, but check for air leaks etc in the hoses. Shouldn't be to much to put right.

Why would you need a new tank?

Unless the contaminated fuel had been in there for months (fuel tank may rust from the inside), the tank would be fine! Don't be conned mate. :ffs:

i know. ive seen this happen before. he said it was moisture in the tank, its been stood for a while and it rusted from the inside. all systems go now though so it should be back in my possesion soon
