Revs dropping when tapping the accelerator
Im sure the hard idle switch will give this fault also.the tps has two plugs,one is the idle switch iirc and can play up and cause engine stumble when the throttle is pressed.

what the f++k !?
Sounds like a major boost leak to me as well.Check your intercoolers and pipes.With the hot weather its possible a hose has softened and come off under boost.

If your worried about your box drop the old oil through a rag and check for metal.I rebuild 16speed gearboxes at work regularly and any box thats on its way out will let you know by the condition of its oil.the noise youve described could still be the release bearing,but if it is internal and the noise is still there at tickover it would indicate first motion shaft or layshaft bearings.

turbo dynamics will recon a stock tub for about £200 each iirc.dont bother with s/h tubs as its not worth the hassle if they are fitted and you then find out they are no good.make sure you get new oil lines fitted at the same time and make sure the water feeds and banjos are clear or its goodbye new tubs.
