first of all, does it lose power from straight away, or when it hits boost, and does the car run rough when cold and get better once warmed up?

need some more info mate

also, does ur boost guage still read what it used to read? is it still boosting properly?

Yeh I was going to say check the boost. Might want to leave it to the pros though. Send it to someone who's probably going to be able to take a quick look at it then fix it.

Edit: Clutch could be another if the revs seem fine but the car pulls nowhere.

Car is loosing the power straight away ..it still boots up but its laging .. no rough idle can put a cup of tea on the motor with spilling a drop.. have taken it in to some now .. Lets see what he can come up with .. most likely it will be something simple ..

power loss is straight away .. it just doesnt want to pull.. It uesed to fly but now it seems to take for ever to power up now if i run tomuch boost in it ..like 12psi or as soon as it reaches 8psi it just hit the defender and cuts out

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
