    Hi Again gents,
    Firstly thanks to Ronan for his suggestion many moons ago,He was spot on the money!
    Finally got this bloomin VW right at last today!Sent the Turbo to AR Turbo Engineering,they stripped and reported: NO FAULTS!So they serviced the turbo whilst they had it there and sent it back to me( good bunch of blokes and I can highly recommend them)I refitted it and test drove,still exactly the same!!So I decided to remove the Charge Pressure Sensor and fit my guage in the appature, but I happened to still have My ACR4 connected and had it resting on the scuttle panel where I was working,As I started to remove the plug from the sensor, the Charge Pressure reading jumped upto 2985Mb!! Yep you guessed it, Faulty bloomin Charge Pressure Sensor!I had previously examined all components and all checked out ok, but when I pushed up on the connector plug, the readings rose to the same reading every time, 2985Mb.Hence the 'overboosting' that the ECU was seeing.Anyway, fitted new sensor and roadtested vehicle, now it's as sweet as a nut!Hope this may be of use to some of you guys in the future!
    All the best gents,
    Gunner.
