Picked mine up today, and it's much more responsive and uses less fuel (back near the original consumption when it was new). I don't think this replacement section of manifold will cure the carbon problems (maybe the associated ECU reflash will?) - the only real difference I see from the outside is that the boost sensor tube now comes off the manifold upstream of the EGR motor, and not downstream, so in theory it will never got blocked by carbon

Everything will still be gunged up inside though.
The problem seems to be the emissions set up - probably exaggerated by our fuel.
I don't know what happens to wty if you do the EGR and pipe thing like others have?
Looks like fuel additives (petrol, kerro, octane booster etc) or maybe the bio diesel are the safest/best/quickest fix at present to investigate.

Just out of interest, have you ever had the ECU reflash ?
