  1. as above is ther any way of checking which 1 i need without pulling it out? its for a 97 V.
  2. my parents where never like that with me. better off spending time and money on the car than pissing it up a wall buying booze and drugs lol
  3. they are just quite hard to get too mate. who has your car?
  4. no theyre different mate
  5. pm ian@crd on tgtt he can get u 1 for 1600 including polishing and porting the head
  6. u may aswell push the boat out for a forged lump if u can afford it. as for the gains it wouldnt really matter. it means you have a solid base to start from when u want to go chasing big bhp u can still run a forged engine with standard turbo set up etc. if i wasnt selling my car id have gone forged without thinking 2ce
  7. i know how your feeling mate same thing happened to me a little over a month ago. IT was the day after the mot. she was getting the new mot for the person who was lined up to buy her! i managed to pick up a lower milage engine and gary (GBR motorsport) off here fitted it for me for a great price. i spent a lot of money getting the car back up to scratch and shes back up for sale now. hope all goes well with the new engine mate! let us know how u get on
  8. i like the styling too but its more wieght lol stick it on to pass the test then ditch it
  9. Cat? i thought u said your turbo was hanging off lol. Is it at the right hand side of the turbo on the exhaust side thats came loose? or at the top of the turbo where it joins to the manifold? if its the cat its nothing to worry about, mines used to do that. the bolts came loose all the time. get some new nuts and put them on tight then put an extra nut on each bolt and twist both nuts into each other and it will lock them on
  10. im not sure what you mean mate there are 4 bolts holding your turbo on are they all loose? dont dismiss it because you had a look at pics on google mate, have a good look at it and make sure its not leaking or its bye bye engine! the oil feed is a small flange thats bolted onto the bottom of the turbo with a skinny little metal pipe that goes to the block next to the oil filter and a thicker rubber hose that goes to the sump.
  11. use normal nuts the plastic bits in the locktight 1s will just melt. the ooil feed is bolted on under the turbo and is a little metal pipe that goes into the block and its very flimsy, if your turbo wasnt bolted on ther will have been strain on it. make sure its not leaking. it more than likley will be now
  12. you had better check your oil feed hasnt snapped or split. keep an eye on your oil level!
  13. when the girlfriend is out of the room haha I've been doing that too recently but i failed big time! i forgot i have to get all my parts sent to our flat while im at work and she has to take delivery DUHHHH!!! shes going fucking nuts with all the parts i have here they are spilling out of the back room into the hall and even in the close hahaha. im liking the harness! cant wait to see the frame painted/powdercoated, it will look amazing! and how dare you take weekends off we need to see this thing built just as much as u do
