  1. Re: You can even use cheap ep91 non turbo rads to save cash there around £40.

    Does this drop straight In? as I have inadvertently done just that and ordered a normal aspirated radiator, it's arrived and wondered whether it would fit my starly turbo or have to send it back.

  2. Things like this infuriate me, no wonder Raoul Moat has a fan page on Facebook, shame he didn't pump a few more bobbies full of lead. Why not try uphold the law rather than be an obvious 'sour grapes' bunch of so called adults that are supposed to be doing a responsible job.

  3. personally i left the seal on mine, of course it won't cover the full width of the intercooler, but i figure you really need to direct and force the air onto it and through, not give it an alternative path, i'e down the sides.

    removing the rubber seal seems somewhat folly to me, the duct on top is not large enough and removing the seal will still not make it so, only adapting the seal is the way ahead , i'm intrigued to see to see this mod now.

  4. you use the existing rear pipe i know that, and the front is a 90 degree bend size being something like 51mm_45mm reducer.

    Once fitted you should notice is spool up earlier, and you can certainly hear the air blast through, lot more noise, the art is getting them to sit straight, i got my 90 degree pipe off Ebay, watch it don't hit the bonnet though when closed, mine did slightly till i won the fight with the damn thing, dare not take it off now.

    Any noticeable improvement with be slight, but lets face it the standard unit is no better than a glorified oil cooler, it's got to be better, get it walloped on.

    something like this :

  5. Maybe your doing more miles than before?

    Cant see disconnecting the actuator doing any damage, just means the wastegate will always be open so it wont be able to spool the turbo up if at all.

    There is just a little c clip holding the arm onto the wastegate flap, can take it on / off in seconds.

    could be missing something here but i thought it was opposite to what your explaining, doesn't the build in pressure push the actuator arm to open the wastegate so removing the arm will mean the wastegate stays shut so you'll just boost into fuel cut off.

  6. i would go and fuck your missus mum up the arse to teach her a lesson i cant believe she's done that but at least your getting it back :wacko:

    Lol , oh my god that made me laugh, fair comment though i would re-register it elsewhere and get away from the whole situation, new girlfriend required, sometimes you have to ask yourself, 'is the juice worth the squeeze'

  7. after all the effort you have put in i personally wouldn't let a head gasket get the better of me, if you going to fix it regardless then why not keep it, to fix it then break/sell it seems bonkers.
