And yes sorry breather pipes still present no catch can thanks for your info Paul

Hi it was a handheld scanner and my mate who's pretty good had a look over amd said to changed the pipes you've mentioned I've ordered a hole silicone kit should be here any day soon and the maff I havnt checked out yet I will do that today my mates got a vcds scanner will get home to us in when he has 5 mins and its had n249 bypass etc I've put a boost gauge onit to see if it drops boost but seems to hold ok

I had a code throw up the temp sensor I changed it for a febi one but hasn't changed how it runs or black smoke it doesn't smoke on boost though if a turbo was knackered wouldn't it smoke constantly

Scratching my head with why my mk1 octavia vrs is running lean and getting black smoke out of exhaust has any one got any ideas what could solve this problem driving me crazy

Hi I've recently bought a mk1 skoda ovtavia vrs on a 03 plate it's been messed around with by previous owner n249 bypass and all that rubbish I'm suffering with the car over fueling so on cold start it's miss firing on choke and popping and I've got black smoke coming out of exhaust on tick over when warmed up can't see nothing when driving and boosting in mirror its got a straight through pipe onit but this is more than you would normally get from that I've hooked a boost gauge up and it seems to hold its boost so not assuming boost leak?I've changed the temp sensor as I've been told this can cause either and it threw that up on computer didn't seem to do anything it's driving me nuts so guys any useful info would be much help thanks

I have the same issue but does it when idling also mines auq engine did you manage to solve your issue
