I was letting Jt_70R know to check his ECU first, before trying anything else.
Thats all

Also, I found 1 very slightly leaking cap, looks like its what was causing the issue.
I will hopefully have new caps by the weekend.

LOL, yeah I was pretty confused there also. Pretty much first thing I did was try another ECU, which seemed to work fine for a bit, then started doing exactly what you described with your problem.

Then i cracked the shits and said fuck you stock ECU, and am getting a Microtech fitted, so i never have to hear the word 'capacitor' again.

Hey Mate,
How did you go with your capacitors, did you change them???

I got stuck into it on the weekend, got replacement Orings in the injectors, and replaced all the caps. I have spare ones here if anyone needs them.

It started and idled fine first go, but the amount of white smoke coming out the exhaust was shocking.
This appears to have cleared up now.
The car was still running a bit rough after getting it all back together, but a change of oil, plugs and filter seem to have resolved that.

Im not entirely sure its fixed yet, so havent driven it that far, but so far so good, makes boost fine, has no issues with power, and seems like its running as good if not better then it was before.
