Dyson333 30 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Pretty sure I've got that exact same charger.. where's the belt gone off the charger itself? what other problems are you having? also interested in how you've set up the oil breather into the catch can, is that something I should have done when I fitted mine? Mines been running fine though, I've got an idle problem when cold, basic scan tool is giving me code 00516 and I can't seem to shift it. Think it's something to do with the throttle body, the multi plug connector or maybe a vacuum leak - but I can't seem to find one! gonna get it to my mate when I put it back on the road in April, gonna ask him to check the codes properly and see what he can see. Fingers crossed an alignment will sort it. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wilber 10 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 There's no more belts left because it keeps on snapping the belts.Last week I took it to the dyno to see whats the cause of the problem and i saw when I released on the throttle the belt snaps so I don't know if there is to much air in the boost pipe so that it brakes the impeller of the sc and therefore its snapping the belt.I've made new pulleys so that I can get more boost out of it so I don't know if the pulleys is causing the problem that the belt brakes. About the oil breather you just replace the breather screw with a nipple screw then you put the breather pipe on it and then to the catch can.Other than that car is running fine.Just want to turbo it to get more hp.

What boost is this producing, I notice a cheeky intercooler Flylow 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Wilber 10 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yes 2 of them they are 38mm, the boost is 0.8 bar. Link to post Share on other sites

What boost is this producing, I notice a cheeky intercooler I also think a bov would help. With out a bov turbo impellers also suffer. Also check the profile of the new pulley's teeth.
