  1. When i can get the boost controller working! :-)
  2. Yep, you were right mate, something simple stikes again!! Jack it up after a spin round the block this morning and saw that the exhaust has been rubbing on the first part of the prop. And that was what that terrible noise was! Took it up the workshop and made the 2 dump pipes that run off of the wastegates, and fitted a rubber anti-vibration mount to the exhaust to stop it rubbing the prop. Exhaust feels nice n tight now, might fit 1 more to it at a later date. And the noise has stopped!! Once i'd finished, i took it for a good blat home. Boost was held at a constant 0.5 bar (both wastegates
  3. I've got a hub nut socket, and driveshaft spine tool! And a breaker bar that will undo them. And an impact gun. I've got most tools to do the work mate, stop panicing!!
  4. Why? Pay on the gate like the rest of us. You can come up for the friday night and be back saturday if time is tight or just go for it and stay the weekend. Yeah come along mate, you know you want to!!! Its going to be an amazing weekend, great people, great cars, great laughs!! And this is my first year. :-)
  5. Good work mate, been out and tested it yet?
  6. Are there any services along the a34 near oxford? We could meet you somewhere like that?
  7. It probably has a gorse on the bottmo of it, but i don't think that will cause any problems tbh.
  8. Looking good. Shame about the h/g going, but it will give you a chance to play with the head when its off. Open the old girl up! Does your engine have 4 wires on the maf, or 6? Maf is located after the air filter, and before the throttle body?
  9. Nice 1 mate, never seen the advert for that film before!! But yeah, convoy all the way. I will finish work around 5, could be ready to leave mine by 5.50, so hopefully at winchester by 6.15. It should stay light until 9, 9.30 ish so we'll be ok for tent erections... :-) he he, i said erection, lol!! :-)
  10. Hope not mate! Judder feels like its from the rear though?
  11. Don't know if thinners would work? Or brake cleaner?
  12. Took me car out for a drive earlier, and i think its sorted the boost prblems, but didn't really get far as its making the biggest loudest screeching whilest driving!! And it judders when pulling away in 1st gear. So atm not too good. But the weekends here so i can have a look an see what the problems are and if i can fix them. :-(

    R32 into mk2

    Ask Vrstig, he had a r32 charged mk2, i think storm developments did the conversion for him, but you'll have to check!
  14. Kevs right, the more you play and research into turbos, the more you'll learn. I did! And boost is an addiction, so be careful!! :-)
  15. Yeah same as mate, finish 5 ish, home, shower, leave? We'll pack and load up car on the thurs so we can leave asap friday. Adam do you want to meet at mine when your ready, then we can burn up to Winchester, M3 to meet the others?
  16. Hopefully mine, just because it hasn't moved for months and i'd like to take it up the pod sunday morning :-)
  17. I could probably undo the nuts with my impact, or undo the driveshafts off of the gearbox. Can you send me your addy an i'l come over monday after work if you want?
  18. I've got the same booked and really looking forward to the weekend. Will be good to go up in a group. I'l see what i can do, but chances are no to having friday off, might just have to meet you there if your going up earlier friday.
  19. Vid sounds like the engines going to explode!! Don't know about running in, just use it i suppose, i'l give it a good test tomorrow evening! :-)
  20. Right, got the rebuild kit for my turbo yesterday, so spent the evening rebuilding it, then fitted it back in my car. 360 degree thrust bearing And a vid, hope it works, don't know how the sounds come out too.
