i was expecting the guy to do a bit of break dancing:( boooooooooo

it the hi and lo boost module. urs is bypassed. leave it like that unless you want to lose full boost in 1sdt and second

looking good mate when is the turbo kit going on?

thanks for the replys guys. tried foning you last night jez. took the turbo down today to be looked at. the guys gonna fone me when he gets it open. was in his office and there was a mountain of turbos lol. cant wait to get it back now:D by the way jezza the place is called revrite

the decat is fine bud. i know the ab mani's are shit but ive had that decat on for over a year and its been fine and still going strong. the noise im getting isnt a boost leak its more of a scraping noise on boost its really hard to explain. imagine if the turbine was spining and you touched it with somthing.

how are your seats sitting? they steady enough bolted on to your standard rails? edit. it would be a crime not to drop an fte in after all this. get it done! i command you! lol

it a full apexi sytem mate with an autobahn decat. it was fine for 2 days mate so i cant see that being the problem. its a second hand turbo and hasnt been used for a few years so i dont know if somthing has went internally? my pipework is all fine i checked then double checked then re checked everything before taking the turbo off

ok guys got the hybrid off today, had a good look at it and there is nothing visibly wrong with it. the compressor wheel is in the exact same perfect condition as it was in before i put the turbo on and the exhaust side is perfect too, there is no shaft play what so ever and when it was on the car it wasnt smoking. what could be the problem here? could it be a bearing or somthing making the noise? it was boosting ok, then on full boost it would drop from .8 bar to around .5 and make the kind of noise youd expect if somthing was touching the turbine like a high pitched scraping whine, its

i usually dont like that sort of thing but my god that is awsome! this car has come a long way in a short time.

got some bits and bobs off jezza the other day, set about fitting them right away and the i/c pipe that stopped my relocation kit fitting:( and killing my hybrid lol if the weather is nice 2morro im taking the turbo off and sending it off to be rebuilt and the mani re welded AGAIN! also going to tidy up the engine bay a bit. got some red trd leads and some red hoses and shit. if i can find the time im going to re- do my wheels with a red lip and white centres and some new rubber.

aye they new bits look ace:D cheers for them:D i cant remember the name of the place now lol its re... somthing lol guy seems ok and seems to know a bit and his garage was full of scoobys and evos.

if its going quack quack id be worried lol just kidding mate. what actuator you running? look at your actuator and see if it is still connected to the wastgate arm on the turbo. sometimes it can come apart if the circlip at the back isnt on properly

its my own fault mate lol if i can get the turbo off this weekend im dropping it into a place in govan to be rebuilt:D cant wait to get it back on the road im really missing it:( after getting the rotor arm on and taking it a wee drive last night i thought it was fine and was over the moon but then when it heated up and i gave it some boost it dropped off at 0.8 down to 0.4 while making a whining noise:(

finally got the rotor arm and cap through and its bad news:( still got the noise. so when i can be arsed im taking the hybrid off and getting it rebuilt:( gutted

how the hell does he know how many owners it had in japan?

same as my seats:D you gop them on yet? i tried modifying my rails to fit them and they sat too high

the rotor arm never came today they cant get me it till tuesday now:( not drivin the starlet for almost a month now!

cant you buy yellow bulbs?

corsa gsi's are not bad without a let too. i like a nice standard gsi lowered on its arse

im defo over the moon I've been stoating around gutted since its been off the road thinking its fucked. im not going to get my hope up though because ill be even mor dissapointed if the turbo is gubbed. but i think i may be very lucky:D

got some good news:D well erm... i found somthing else boroken on the car but its gave me hope on the turbo. last week i ran out of petrol lol i know. but then after filling it back up i couldnt get it started so i got it back round at my house and tried starting a few times with no luck. couldnt fid out what was wrong. so i had a bit of time last night and had a look. took off the dizzy cap and look at the state of this 1 of the screws had came out completley and the rotor arm had been flying around in there, if you look at it side on you can see how its been rubbing off of the insi

spotted it today while working, looked smart, anyone on here?

20 mins after reading this i got a fnecall from bt and ended up with a big argument and it was a genuine call lol oops.... cant be too carefull though

ill not be there. I've still not had a chance to take the hybrid off to put the ct9 bak on:(

who would want to do anymore than that in a starlet anyway lol you get enough rattles and shit at low speeds never mind 140 + fuck that lol
