Background
Put the vta dv back on today,loosed the nut at the top of the valve buy 1 turn to soft from hard, tightened up everything else, noticed there is a lot of oil under the tmic worrying.
Tonight
It normally idles around 1 to 1.5 when cold then drops to about 800 900 all normal, tonight she dropped down to 500 and stayed there, went for a spin out the road to a quiet place and gave it a bit of a squirt, felt a bit ropey in 3rd @3.5 - 4K changed to 4th would not go over 4k felt like the car was juddering (if that makes any sense), changed up to 5th still no better, when accelerating I could hear what sounded like air being pushed out from the dv. Backed well off down to about 2.5K @ this staged had vision of a big bang and a long walk home..
All the gauges read normal oil press and temp was fine and she was not losing any boost
Got home parked the car up and could smell burning oil...
Going to get it into a garage tomorrow, just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on what might be wrong has anyone every come across this before .
Cheers
