Nice car dude, i've just bought one too and there are a few problems. Clutch has been replaced but the clutch pedal often sticks to the floor and have to pump it a few times to get in in gear. I think this may be air in the master cylinder but im not sure? I also have boost problems, try to accelerate hard and its almost like it miss fires, and smells like its just dumping fuel as it pops and bangs. What happens with your boost issue, and keep me posted if you fix it and what you did! This is my first turbo car so in a way its kinda nice that it isnt running 100% as it gives me a chance to learn the car. Enjoy the car bud!!

Do you have a boost gauge .. whats your max boost when it pops and bangs .. and yeah pedal on the flore .. failed master cylender or the system needs bleeding properly :(

My first fix was this problem .. bled it over and over with no joy .. replaced the master and slave ... fixed \:D/
