    had a great day nice to meet you all and your families. kids had a good time especially the big kids (video evidence uploading be warned!). carvery was a bit of a piss take! wouldn't even let us have a small plate to put some vegetables on off our plates for caitlin-marie.

    maf.

    marky_boy replied to marky_boy's topic in Engine Tuning

    the ecu is mapped for a z engineering stage 1 bolt on charger. but hasn't got one fitted. would it be an advantage to get a new maf and fit or would it make no difference?

    what exactly does the maf do? if you have the engine mapped with it off will everything be ok? reason i ask is my vr6 had it unplugged when i got her and i plugged it in and makes no difference to power at all.

    my advise to you is down tools and have a real good read upon turbo systems before you make a deadly mistake, or find someone who knows what their doing to come down and give you a crash course in turbo systems

    mine has started tomake a noise today (just done 200 miles and kept putting wd40 on it). thought i would pop it off and grease it quickly tonight, and the placewere you screw in a bolt to release the tension isn't their!!!! their is threads on the side of the tensioner and you can see where it has snapped of!!! so i tried releasing the tension with a spanner on the 15mm bolt on the actual pulley but i cant put enough pressure on it.going to try with a bigger bar. but can anyone advise what to do please

    my engine has been lifted with hockey pucks by previous owner, under inspection all mounts have been lifted and standard 8.8 tensile bolts fitted. i am a bit worried about them stretching. i can get high tensile versions easily if i take the existing bolt in only problem is if i remove the bolt to take it in i cant as then i cant drive the car. does anyone know what words i'd have to say to the guy behind the counter to get the right bolts. or where online i could order them from or even better send me some!! thanks mark
