quick couple of photos when i got her yesterday
plans are sort the turbo as its very smoky on idle not to bad when driving not boosting properly in 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th but its running nearly 2bar in first rest of the gears seem to misfire at top end so some major tlc get her back upto scratch
all comments welcome
2bar is too much, im sure every person who checks this thread will highlight that...
Should peak at 1.6bar and drop to 0.8 IIRC as standard, does it have a different boost controller on?
I think it could look quite good with alot of TLC! Custom rear bumper?
This car could look really nice with a few touch ups. If it hasn't got a boost controller, the over boosting could be related to a split pipe as I had the same problem, but the misfire I'm not to sure on.
i think there is a boost valve or controller in the engine bay i aint that well clued up on turbo's all my cars have been none turbo's i did think 2 bar was a bit much i havent really been driving it because of the smokyness and prob wont be able to look into it til the weekend
the rear bumper i am assuming is custom but i dont like it very much i prefer the standard one and i think i will be changing the back box although i had a quick look at the system and look to possibly be a 3" all the way throu
Mis fire could be the leads if Its top end.
Standard front lights.
Standard rear bumper.
Side strip on doors.

^^^ what he said ^^^
The miss fire will be down to the boost, wind it down to 1 bar
i wound it down last nyt havent really driven her yet as developed another prob the injector light comes on on the dash and car cuts out lol and wont restart for couple mins then doesnt want to idle
and i agree with wot he said ^^^^^^^ lol
