How the heck do you have a turbo on your P's? Isn't it the same laws in N.S.W as A.C.T?
By the way it looks freakin' sweet, would love an Xr over my GLI, but we've had it since brand new so we know nothing has been rooted on it.

yeh p's in act can drive anything, not speed limited either.
just got car back from the auto elec's, air con pump seized causing the belt to snap.
boost leak was meant to be fixed at the same time but the shop didnt have a mig welder, need to try find time next week to pull off the manifold and take it into an exhaust shop. the crack has gotten bigger it loosing about 4 or 5 psi now.

What sort of manifold is it? Where's the crack?

not sure what brand it is or anything, the crack is just below where the turbo bolts onto the manifold.
