Yeah you will definately burn through it.Its way to thin to weld and trust.

Turbo seals will only smoke when idling and the oil is escaping and being burnt off. I wouldnt advise starting the car with no intercooler fitted. If youre smoking on throttle / boost its not turbo related.

The oem actuators are wank in general.They just lurrrve bleeding that boost off. Should be the first thing to change on every starbo

Not having a bov WONT be the reason its smoking bud.. Im just saying, it should have a bov ideally.You want somewhere for the pressure to be released, rather than chopping straight back into the turbo. Some people think it sounds hardcore, i think its plain dim.Manufacturers dont fit an item just for the fun of it, it has a purpose.

The electrical tape is the last owners bodge attempt at covering the take off for the old bov. Most people put a bolt in/bung/cap etc on it. If you was to buy a bov kit made for the starlet gt, it will come with a bung made to fit in the hole. the breather would be routed into efi pipe with the tape on, next to it. So thats all looking like that because they have removed the recirculating valve, maybe to induce "chatter" It looks like you have a bung with a jubilee holding it into the turbo intake hose anyway, but the rocker cover breather pipe could do with being routed into a can. Im not telling you its youre rings, im just hinting at a possibility.Smoke on throttle and boost is usually engine related. Smoke on idle is usually blocked pcv valve, or shot turbo. What about the idle control valve?Thermostat etc, lots of things to consider when youre idle is lumpy or excessive.

Smoke on boost or vacum could be rings shot etc. A turbo would smoke on idle. First things first, get a proper bov fitted, and fit a oil catch can. Starlets love breathing lots of vapour, its just how the engines are. Also pop off youre intercooler elbow joiners, check if theres any oil residue in either the turbo side, or the plenum side. Eliminate them then tell us what you find bud.

HIFLOW? any decent company can build you a hybrid ct9 to youre specs. phone a few compays up if youre going for a hyrbid, Ask them what specs it will be built to, what it will cope with, what the guarantee is etc. Dont just go with the first one.

Spread the worrrrd AMEN!

Just knocked that up

I have seen somebody using one on msn, but i cant remember who bud. I could make ya a simple one if you like?

I still suggest he gets it on the rollers

Turbo oil seals dude. Either find a decent 2nd hand unit or recondition yours.

Hmm, 170 across .. Should be running spot on then dude. Cant you get it rr'ed?

Sounds savage Rich

True Shelly!

Its suprising how many of us are that sad to take a photo of our exhausts

Enzo, whos SES bud ? That some company up youre way? Im sorry to hear about the chap passing away.

HKS SuperDrager on a V after i was bored and gave it a damn good polishing ;) Yes i'm sad

Dont waste youre time with a ct12.Its pointless. If you want a decent turbo that will mate straight up to youre manifold and downpipe, get youre ct9 hybrid by a decent company!

How do you mean it all depends on what boost you run bud?

Stock LSD would be fine, but it depends how extreme you want to go. Both blue and ultimates have ignition and fuel maps. Just different size maps.

Youll have fun finding a apexi pfc for a decent price.No point in getting one without the handheld commander , so if you do find one, try and either get hold of a hand held commander seperate, or see if its included. Emanage ultimates will map just as well as a power fc, for alot less cash. Saying that though, an emanage blue is even cheaper, you can get a whole setup with every harness for under £400. Only difference is the blue has a smaller map than the ultimate, im sure the blue has a 16x16 map, and the ultimates run 32x32?

It doesnt affect spooling at all. Its only when you let off the throttle, not all the pressure will be dumped, so the only way it can go is back through the turbo.. Hench compressor surge / turbo chop etc It will allways affect the turbo to a small degree, but theres not much you can do about it.Play with youre bov spring tension and thats basically all you can do.

Mine auto logs in dude. Not a problem with mine..I entered the username and password again and selected remember password.Et Voila

Good tuner as in ECU mapping or engine work ? and ecu systems all come down to how much cash you have to spend, and what power and setup youre looking at running. Alot use apexi pwer fc's / greddy emanages etc, im going to be getting a dastek system fitted.
