    So apart from a few small hiccup's everythings great! Averaging around 27MPG and running 10psi - Boost is really addictive and it surprises a lot! In love with the sound of the screamer pipe!
    The main hiccup was getting it running after it had been filled up with fuel - Dougie came to the rescue and spent his sunday working on it (Cant thank him enough for this, the man is an absolute lifesaver!) It turned out the uprated fuel pump in the tank from a donor car had been wired in with scotchlocks!
    The most recent hiccup was also due to the previous owner of the donor. The car wouldn't start and in the end traced it down to a oil pressure sensor (blue one) that was jammed with a cunt load of thread tape, Swapped it out & started first time!

    There will be more photo's and a full spec list in the next update, At the moment its on daily duties and the plans for the near future are to get her back into Trix for a service, start cleaning up the engine bay & keep my eyes peeled for some new wheels :)

  22. Turbo Downpipe

    in Engine Tuning

    Posted

    I'm now at the stage in my conversion, where i'm looking at the downpipe

    My set up is slightly different to the one in the DIY turbo thread and the wastegate will be coming almost straight on to where the downpipe starts, will this be a problem? I have attached a photo, to get an idea,

    The two lambda sensors, will these be best as far down the downpipe as possible, just before a flexi?

    Thanks all!
