  1. I also bought an engine which was imported and sitting on a crate. The sump was dented and it had fallen over so the inlet manifold was broken aswell. Also the importer stated it had around a 100k's on it but the timing belt cover vaguely showed a number starting with 2. It did come with 3 months of warranty so I took the gamble and it has been running fine for a year now.

    When you go look at it check for the timing belt sticker and any obvious damage. Also ask if the importer can give any warranty.

    Hey mate, thanks for the reply! Yeah I did. Makes sense that I couldn’t see anything! Only 15’s in there. It’s strange that it’s only when turning right though? Do you know anything about the top mounts in them mate? Thanks again pal

    Hi there, if you installed the coilovers the way they came out of the box there should be no problems with the topmounts.

    I have the exact same problem with tire rubbing to the chassis. It is indeed strange that it is ony when you turn to the right. It doesnt really bother me much and I keep it in mind, but it could be a problem when you bring the car to your countries MOT, I had to change the wheels for some thin spares to make it pass MOT

  3. Screeching turbo sounds like an inbalance which would mean a worn turbo (bearings gone, no oil?). When the turbo is worn it can jam and block the inlet and reduce power. Did you fill it up to the correct level to begin with? 

    Edit: take of your air filter and check for any play on the compressor wheel 

  4. I would buy a new distributor cover from Tuningdevelopments, they are not that expensive..

    Is it a standard wastegate actuator? How is is hooked up, is the low/high solenoid still connected? Your wastegaste should be closed during normal driving
