It's the gold metal line as seen in the picture that is blowing air.

that pipe should go to the blow off, somebody removed the blow off and blocked the pipe (as you can see with the 2 bolts holding a cover on it)

get a piece of HOSE and put a bolt in one end (so it seals it tight) and put the hose on that pipe.

it will fix it for you.

Haha mad spelling mistake by me FML!

Thanks for the quick reply, Yeah the blow off valve is weird aswell :S Never seen anything like it!

Haha its a blank off plate the stock bov goes there as gtscott said get some vacume hose and put a bolt in it so it is blocked off or buy a stock bov

Wait a minute youve got a 32... show me some thing please, im having trouble finding where my outside sensor for ac goes, a lot of the front was missing when i bought it.

I can take any photos of any area on mine if you need for you might find more missing/dodgy bits as you just bought the car.

The ambient air temp sensor for the climate control goes pretty much where you circled. On a factory R32 it is pressed into a hole on the bonnet catch support (the vertical strut of whicj that goes down in front of the radiator). When you have a front mount installed, assuming that the vertical strut is not butchered, then it's not smart to leave it down there as it gets hot air through the intercooler. So I just moved mine up to be behind the grille under the bonnet catch. Any combination of cable ties required is suifficient to mount it.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
