BOV's have been removed and car ran fine after this was done. I suspected the split hose idea as well but have gone over them all with a fine tooth comb but NO splits in any of the hoses......
Now the car has been playing up for a while now where it would stutter as it transitioned from vac to boost but keeping the foot down it would pull through this and boost well to normal levels. Now upon reaching aforementioned levels car completely bogs and WILL NOT pull through this AT ALL!!!. Bizzarely, since this new problem has reared its head there is now NO hesitation at vac boost transition point any more!!Work THAT out!!
I cant figure out if its an escalation of the first problem or something completely different.

Turbos are std ceramics with about 68k on them so probably in the zone for getting past their best although last time I checked, around 500 miles ago, there was still very little play in the shafts.

I just cant seem to get my head round this one unfortunately....And to say its pissing me off is an understatement and a half.
