That question is easier to answer if you tell us why you think it may be knackered?

Since I know the crack, I'll reply.

His GSI is having problems when coming onto boost, its "spluttering" abit and not running smooth.

He's changed the AFM, Coil Pack and Spark Plugs.

spluttering sounds strange..... What do you mean by that? hesitation? or coming on boost and off again? It could be the sensor just after the IC.
