All mk1 saloons have the same rear bumper 👍

Be fine mate in the short term, it will throw up a few codes and EML, but won’t effect the performance or the running of the car

If I remember right you need 2 x 4mm and 2 x 6mm for under the inlet, I used one of one 4mm nipples for my boost gauge tho

Mine done exactly the same, luckily it was a couple days before I was booked in for a refurb turbo, so got it done at the same time -
NSF Hub MK1 vRS - where to get one?

There are plenty of VRS breakers on the #ovrsmk1oc owners group on FB -
eBay will be your best bet, you will be able to pick a pair up pretty cheap

I bought a Compbrake Diverter Valve last December for my VRS, recently I had noticed a drop in vacuum on my boost gauge it had gone from around 22inhg at idle to about 17, so it indicated a boost/vacuum leak, it turns out that a oring was missing from the DV and it was letting by, I tried to contacted Compbrake but got absolutely no where with them and they were very unhelpful... so now I’m stuck with a useless dv that I wasted £60 on and it’s been over 6 months so I can’t get PayPal involved.... so don’t bother with this company and don’t bother with aftermarket dv’s..... And also, where did the oring end up?? At a guess it’s in my 6 month old replacement turbo 😡

I’m a member of that group, the R32 VRS sounds nuts 👌

Yea they rot out pretty quick really. At least your elbow came out in one piece, mine snapped off in the oil filter housing and was a complete pig to remove -

It is now, I also had to change all the crankcase breather pipework and clean the throttle body This is the mess the previous owner owner left for me
