hijacka, no sticker far as i could say, its just a DENSO AFM. Got some AFM cleaner (CRC stuff) that seemed to clean it, just gonna let it dry over night. Would that cause my problem though!

Not really mate, someone suggested running wastegate boost only, but dont really wanna touch any of the hoses till iv eliminated the rest of the bits, they are all saying to put boost guage on, but ill try this first. when i say dirty like it was carbon black on one side

Yes that can cause issues. I was thinking yours is earlier one not V7. After you clean it and pop it back on, Reset the ecu and run a diagnostic test and check codes.if no clues then remove and check spark plugs for discoloration and gap them. I found peace with a .6mm gap.

black and green plugs under dash, you need to connect them. Hold up, I find u a link
I'm in christchurch and i don't have facebook because im old school lol. you can pm me on clubsub if you like. user 'hijacka' Its better if its done on a scanner if you can wait and not drive it till then. Thats good that the rocker gaskets and rear main seal are getting replaced makesure they use genuine parts. you might also consider a new clutch if need be! I think v7 you plug the 2 set of green plug into each other, i know the v1-v6 is the black and green. that will be handing near the steering column. Plug them in, red lights acc pedal down 2 seconds lift up to half way and hold 2 seconds then foot off the gas, start car and drive at a speed faster than 11kms until codes flash. Just a note that if it had a 02 sensor fault show that could also be a vac leak. I have been stumped with this in the passed and pointed back to a manifold leak my guess is that the leak caused incorrect air fuel ratio which triggers the o2 sensor fault. Also leaks like these can cause the car to behave worst when warm because the heat from the engine causes the leaks to open further whether its a gasket/rubber or abs plastic. Hope that helps

In-case anyone is interested, took it to a specialist, after numerous test and guages, found the car was running lean at higher revs (DANGEROUS!) swapped MAF sensor for a working one, fixed the lean issue. Charged the boost system with air from compressor, lleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak, so after ripping the intercooler out, the leak was under there. hopefully all fixed. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread :")
