The oil pipes are a cheap easy fix.
Head gasket less so but still not a massive job. It will survive for a bit anyway, albeit making an oily mess on things. Just get the leak sorted before you get it boosting properly because then the oil becomes a fire-risk due to the extra heat generated.
You could drop the actuator rod off to get rid of the boost completely to stop the clutch slipping. Once you've fitted a softer actuator and the clutch has bedded in a bit you'll probably find that it's ok. Did CG say what torque the clutch will take?
:-)
Cheers mate yea I've already put the heatproof covers on the oil lines to prevent a fire risk donated by a seat Leon cupra haha cg said the clutch should handle 70% more power ?? Which we haven't even touched yet I won't give up just gotta get the niggles sorted hopefully they can sort my hg out the garage said that apparantly the standard gasket fixes the issue but the 1.9mm one I fitted must not of had that fix any suggestions??
