Would it be okay to use a smoke machine then pressure test it?

So yesterday I put the egr delete kit on because I had a minor oil and boost leak from the coupler on the asv oil leak sorted however I still hear a turbo dumping sound and loud sucking sound from inside the car at first I thought it was that leaking coupler (oh how wrong I was EGR had been mapped out anyway so wanted to blank it properly) I do have an FMIC but I can't see any leaks or any oil around the joints what else could cause this? It definitely feels like a boost leak its down on power sooting bad and still sounds like a boost leak thoughts and opinions folks?

Any links at all for the SRE kit?

I cannot use stock clutch parts anymore the car is to powerful for it i'm gonna need a proper uprated kit tbh

Nope sadly not new clutch kit will be going in next month anyway valeo probably or sachs not sure

Did have a brand new cylinder sachs master cylinder to be precise clutch fluid is gonna be changed very soon as well

So i've found out some new information, the clutch currently in my car is apparently a VR6 clutch, theres no evidence to support this however, i'm perhaps wondering if i should pair the vr6 clutch with a vr6 master cylinder as well then?

I would have thought so as well however the clutch was done quite some time ago now its had a new master cylinder passed the slave cylinder test the only thing left that I haven't done is a full fluid change from what I can tell its either never been done or a seal has perished and turned into this murky black fluid

So bleeding it with pressure didn't work I reckon it's gonna be a pressure plate problem so, valeo luk or sachs what do you guys recommend for 320ftlb of torque or more?

Yes I had previous bled it at around 2 psi so i shall try the kit today

After some digging in the cars paperwork the master cylinder was replaced in december just gone so i'm very skeptical about that fixing the issue suggested above is a potential airlock so instead of replacing the cylinder I shall bleed it through again with an eezibleed kit and see if that does it any further advice on this is appreciated!

Just to add some extra info tried the slave cylinder method to see if its that that had gone and the result came back negative have actually found a perished seal on the master cylinder so hoping this solves the issue otherwise the whole hydraulic clutch system will be replaced, if that fails a new DMF and Clutch will be put in as well expensive stuff especially the uprated clutch

Have tried bleeding through small amounts of air but no difference

Again confusing right? It has an uprsted LUK clutch to help counter the 210hp but thats all I can think of, unless its the uprated clutch causing the issue described? I literally purchased the car on Tuesday not much detail was given prior to that it was in Wales around 300 miles from me however the problem apparently started happening to the previous owner after MOT which led me to believe it was a seal somewhere but all lines are dry

This is exactly what has me confused as well, fluid levels have not dropped but pressure is being lost over time, I lose pressure even faster if I boot it

Over time the clutch looses pressure regardless of what I do dluid leveps are perfectly fine

Booked in for a complete replacement of the master cylinder linkage appears to be fine but the master cylinder is the cheapest option at the moment

It has an uprated clutch to my knowledge, purchased the car today number 235 SE not entirely sure when any major work was done has a full service history but parts of the paperwork is incomplete the clutch fully disengages when there is pressure but when theres no pressure in the pedal I have to quite literally pump it up like a balloon crazy really but thats about all I can tell you as for leaks I cannot visibly see any leaks where lines terminate and fluid levels are normal

I need some assistance guys, so I have to keep pumping the clutch every so often to keep pressure in the line it doesn't appear to be losing fluid anywhere so I suspect an air leak where should I start looking? Master cylinder or slave cylinder? Its a 2007 mk1 believe to be the BLT engine thanks in advance!

I now own number 235! Currently got issues with it but oh well!
