Sounds yummy lads, im a poor uni student as of the 20th so ill try and sell myself or something lol

I'm doing pharmacy, tbh I wouldn't bother with the rear disc conversion it's just another thing to go wrong and will need replacing drums are for life lol this car defo needs some power now + with it being bigger than a starlet

What you do at uni? Not been to the scrapy for ages never find the time

whats next on the list? lol how do you fund all this? i get told off by my parents for buying car stuff

x2^ Can do some serious damage to your spine.....causes a really really bad shock to the body as you can see from his reaction theres funny and then theres outright stupidity

Salaam, Looks good glad you got rid of the mirrors + tail lights....odd to think most of the body parts are off a scooby lol did you paint it yourself? looks like a nice garage

we got something like that, i just tell em to fcuk off n put the phone down lol

IMO its ALL about the tune and tuners capabilities then its down to the hardwear

Hell run the same power...give or take a few bhp it will just be safer and allow him to whack up the boost = more power if he so wishes to do

Id say a AFR isnt really needed, unless your running a mad V and are constantly needing to keep an eye on her.....if its just a double pod boost + oil temp or locate the boost one elsewhere and go for oil temp + water temp

We agreed on half of the original price, so ill use it and mabe look for another wastegate or new turbo depending on how i get on

get some cheap WD40 type thing from the £1 shop and knock yourself out..best to take the TB off tho

Bit quiet on here atm with people getting back from JAE/going back to work etc give it till later during the day Id say something like oil temp....

1) Compression test + diagnostic test 2) dont let it idle just drive off boost till shes warm let us know how you get on

Done! im going to hang on to it and see how she fares really apreciate the help guys Asad

I never understood the 1.4 in a golf.....ok it opens the market up and appeals to a wider variety of people who cant get insurance etc but underpowered is an understatement...no? how many starlets have raped you? Health to enjoy lol

I know its a common "fault" i just wasnt sure if it would be ok this far gone get worse? possibly break up the housing further?

I wouldnt sit there for 10min waiting for it, just drive off boost (low revs for the N/A) till shes warm and the temp gauge is nothing to go by oil heats up slower than water do a compression test, diagnostic test and youll know a little bit more about its health...i have a terrible feeling my CLTs is gay and throws 10x extra more fuel in than needed on start up lol

Im getting mixed vibes most say its no good, is it possible to get a different wastegate?

Right then... I only text you to keep you in the loop, as with most threads people hate on the buyer for not contacting the seller regarding the issue Secondly, I apologise to "bigman" whole heartedly this wasnt a thread to slate him or knock his service in any way shape or form.... his communication was excellent, replied to my Pms within 30min gave me his address and mob number when asked for Delivered rapidly, i had the bine at 8 in the morning the day after no faffing around, delivered the asked for pictures on time and answered any questions as best he could updated me with texts as the transaction went on Guess the moral of the story is know your item before you sell it on....go to any length to pull all bolts/nuts apart to make sure its as described dont take anyones word for it Asad

Sorry but isnt that just a ebay jobbie? ^ what make is it?

My thoughts exactly.....ive blew my budget for the turbo i have no money to play around its gonna cost £11 to send the fecker back to the lad lets see what he says

Hey, as above its the first time ive ever touched a CT9 turbo and it was purchased in good faith for my N/A conversion i didnt want to leave it boxed up-untill the day it came to fit it to find it in a bad way/state....i was expecting "A" crack in the wastegate but this is what i got. The seller "bigman" was spot on with his service and dont get me wrong this isnt a slating thread. Im unsure and have very little knowledge hence the reason for the thread........i have sent the seller a Pm just before making this thread live Looking back to my Pms just now, this is what was said: Me : Quick question any cracks in the wastegate? Bigman: yeah mate there is one as there usually is with most ct9's, im struggling to open the waste gate as acutator still on plus i aint that strong at all haha I want to port it, am i still able to do so and use it with reliability? There is some shaft play, its very small so i can let a more experienced member have a "feel" as it were to pass judgement on that side Asad

The rear 3 point toyota optional extra one doesnt fit N/As and Mk1 1 GTs as theres no place to bolt it at the bottom.......the brace you have should fit 100% be it 2 bolts or 4 bolts if not id go knock on the sellers door. As above i very much doubt cusco or anyone got the manufacture process wrong

The blocks the same except 3 bolts are missing for oil filter housing, the heads are the same except valve springs i think the cranks the same i dont know any other differences mabe others can add?? thermostat housing is different also
