not sure, it runs ok really, just that the smoke comes from the exhaust and leaking from the turbo housing. totally buggered as for the past few days has not been holding any boost at all. not bothered if the engine blows - got a low mileage backup engine for £200

Dewiper the rear if you havn't done already it will make the back 100 times better.

have you fitted the brakes? What disks did you buy? And where did you source the calipers from?

Gutted about the turbo, onwards and upwards though, just make it faster lol

bought the t25 from a rover breaker - found it on partsgateway as i couldnt find any t2 turbos anywhere. comes with 60 days guarantee so hopefully it is a good one.

i can imagine bud that it boost good, my turbo i think was pretty much nakered from day one. i could never change it either as it was welded onto my manifold. will have to try something else with the manifold now

not fitted the brakes yet, bought 283mm discs from my mate and sourced the calipers from a scrappies. all in all the setup has cost me £125 with the new discs and pads

Love it when something goes wrong with this car cause you end up buying
something bigger and better for it

Bad news man with the engine issues/turbo issues. I think reliablity and power
are something that dont like to exist at the same time. Dont give up on her just
yet matey.

lol, im not too happy as i have to walk everywhere.lol. it will be back - bigger and better and im defo getting it mapped up as soon as the new turbo is in

the car has been pretty reliable its just that i messed up when fitting the turbo kit in the first place as i didnt know anything then - so ive just been correcting my mistakes. the only thing that was dodgy was the turbo - wish i bought a new one

have also used black mesh on the grill and also smoked my front indiactors.

havent decided fully yet on whether to spray the intercooler black or leave- will have to see what it will look like when i put the stuff back on

also picked my gti-6 calipers - they are mahoosive and the pads are pretty new on them too so may not need new pads.

will post some pics up 2mos when the stuff is fitted, meanwhile heres the pics i promised:

the light is compromise?

RAIDER_VTS · 28th September 2007, 19:43

the brightness of the headlight smoked remains equal to standard them?

sorry for my very bad english...

Martinsaxo · 28th September 2007, 19:46

Damn thats a shame about the turbo mate, can imagine how anoyed you would be

ahh well look forward to seeing the new one

Sophia_Bush · 28th September 2007, 23:10

basically means with the smoked headlights is the shine reflection the same as if it were with the standard backing

cheers mate, well i was supposed to get my turbo yesterday but the dopey gits still havent sent it off - i think they are testing it first. i ideally needed it yesterday so i could order the turbo flange and start making a new manifold but it will have to wait

sorry mate, yep the lights are still bright and i cant tell the difference to be honest as their is still a reflective bit by the bulb that hasnt been sprayed. its the same as the mk2 lights really

Sophia_Bush · 29th September 2007, 13:54

take your time sorting the manifold adapter and stuff, good thing now is you can get the turbo sitting straight and have the oil inlet and return were you want.

If you do it right you may just miss the oil filter, but if you need an oil filter relocation kit let me know because my down pipe doesnt go anywere near my filter so selling mine off

cheers, my existing setup was ok as the turbo sat very flat, the oil inlet is ok as well as the oil return.

the manifold however did not clear the oil filter so i had to buy a remote oil filter kit in the first place. cheers for the offer though

where do you reckon i can get a mild steel turbo flange from?

Sophia_Bush · 30th September 2007, 14:03

I would just take the turbo to any machine shop place and say this flange x amount mm thick they should be able to sort something np

Slammed_Posi_Vtr · 30th September 2007, 18:09

Well i think its the dogs bollocks, all the time that bodykit stays mint it will look great mate, least it shows youve got balls.

mallboy · 30th September 2007, 23:09

it was all a false alarm, my mate the mechanic came to check my car for me and to check the turbo. it seemed that the oil return for the turbo was blocked and therefore the oil in the turbo went straight throught the exhaust system.

all sorted now, sorted the fuelling out a little and it performs a hell of a allot better. ordered the new turbo aswell so may just sell it now - unless im hungry for more power

cheers for all the comments and advice tho people

will post pics up when the brakes and gauges are fitted
