no boost control??!!!
had some boost issues with my fd mainly leaks so have fixed all the leaks but now nothing seems to be limiting the boost, after a spirited drive the other day, car went like holy **** but the boost kept cutting out
this drive was only about 5mins long (after warm up)
got to where i was going and the turbo was cherry red and smoke (burning oil) was billowing from the turbo area??
any help/ideas??
cheers
will

You were probably hitting fuel cut, due to overboosting caused by a problem with your sequential system's control of the wastegate. Do not drive your car hard anymore until you diagnose and fix the problem, otherwise you will pop the engine.
Do you have a boost gauge?

Fuel-Cut Boost Levels
This is why you need a boost gauge - if you exceed these boost levels (at least in the higher gears, where the ECU has time to react) you will get fuel cut.
