    Alrighty folks having major running issues with the vr, basically ran it down to the paintshop about 5 weeks ago, drove perfect, very quiet and smooth (as it should, its fully rebuilt with new chains/guides/head etc). My painter then did the repair work over the next couple of weeks then moved it into the booth. Its was then masked up and painted. When he went to move it out of the booth it wouldn't start at all ran a bit then cut out. I went down checked the leads and it did fire up and again ran fine eventually as appeared flooded. Now its running on 4, cylinder 2 and 6 are down, replac

    Got my Downpipe finished today and wrapped it up in some kevlar wrap. Had to order a schimmel elbow for my inlet as my throttle body was catching the fan switch in the thermostat housing. Hopefully everything else will be done by the time I recieve it.

    Got my sump fitted up today, we braised quite a long return pipe on it so there is loads of room for the driveshaft and hose will be above it Also picked up a set of rims for blasting about on when weathers bad.... 15s were too smal for new brakes (when they eventually get here) 17" superlegeras need a refurb but will do as is just now.

    couple of more pics to show whats been happening with it recently About 2 weeks before e38 fitted my freshly coated inlet, started car up and it died??? Turned out there was sand stuck inside it and that had destroyed the rings so no compression. picked up a real cheap low mileage mill for £120 off ebay and got stuck in, still made it to e38 so was well chuffed from 2008 e38 In workshop in bits again. Engine now stripped out and has been fitted in my mk2 as it turned a shell.. why you ask? Picked up a mint bottom end and fitted a decompression plate arp head studs and reconned head, new

    Don't know if its any help but I run a jetex 2.5" on our corsa turbo and its perfect, not too noisy but works well. I have a magnex on my vr which I am going to change to Jetex as the dealer price is well cheap..and think the magnex may be too small for the turbo as its 2.25

    wanting to run around 350 to 400 at the fly, wasn't sure on size, I run 3" in my corsa track car and there is virtually no lag at all and its running around 300 bhp. Cheers for replies
