  1. from what i have understood do you mean there is 2 connections on your horn and only 1 wire? if that is correct then you just need to connect that wire to the posotive side of the horn and then get another piece of wire to make a short link from the 2nd connection on the horn to the nearest metalwork usually on the bosskit itself
  2. okie dokie no probs, aslong as you and eveyone else know that im a genuine person and hate people ripping others off so i wouldn't do it myself to anyone else it would be good to look at the welds to be honnest because if its as bad as you say then i wont be going back there anymore, unless he didn't do it neat because he knew it would be covered up? depends what you mean by a bad weld, we shall see when you get the piccys up
  3. only just spotted this thanks for the feedback luke glad you like it see you soon
  4. can name and shame me if you like i have nothing to hide, ive been honest with you, and it was fine on my car worked no problem at all and i have no idea how bad the welding is because i never looked at it seen as it was wrapped back up after they had done the work the place i have my work done loads of people around here go to as he does welding for a living so trusted him with what he was doing, told you about the turbo aswell having a bit of play in it and slightly smoking, it was in my for sale thread. you could have checked it all before you bought it, but thats why i was selling it cheap because i know its not perfect and it would have needed some attention eventually i bought my turbo kit for just under 700quid and a couple of weeks later the external wastegate snapped off the manifold, i didn't go moaning back to the seller as shit happens nowt can be done about it, same with my 2nd car ive had that 6 weeks and the belt has come off was lucky it didn't damage the engine but it still because me just over 350quid, things cant be helped i dont want any arguements and people that know me know im an honest person so wouldn't go ripping people off, i cant see why you have had trouble fitting it for a start as you can see from the pic i added a few posts ago it fitted on mine and it had been working no probs must have been on atleast 3years as it was on when i bought the car, only reason i swapped it for my latest manifold was because it looked like it would flow better so was hopeing it might give me better gains but to be honest ive had nothing but trouble with it so far and wish i had kept the other one on (that i sold you) anyway hope you get it sorted soon and sorry that you think i wasn't being honest with you
  5. i had mine done at chesterfield they sandblasted and powdercoated all four for 100quid they might do it even cheaper than that if your wheels arnt too bad mine were a bit of a twat to get all of the paint off i just had them powdercoated black and then stuck the green lip round them myself tis only a sticker u could do the same or they could spray them for you at the same place if you wanted? think this was them http://www.dfbcontractingservices.co.uk/index.php?page=home

  10. mines just got 2 metal bits to attach the hoses so ive not had to alter anything so im not sure really im sure someone else will know if you put a post up your glanza looks nice from the pic i love them wheels they would look good on mine i have some green wheel nuts but i cant use them with my wheels they dont fit in the holes i was r8 peed off because there gorgeous i was gonna buy some new wheels just so i can use the wheel nuts
  11. i think i should put it back on then i was gona sell it if not because its sat doing nothing any more info would be good need as many opinions as poss so i know im doing the right thing:)
  12. got the wheel off ebay could be real could be fake not sure but its nice anyway i like how its closer forward feels even more like driving a go kart now im not sure waht you mean? do you mean the two breathers that go to the oil catch can?
  13. yeh does sound better but id rather be safe than bugger my turbo up so is it deffo a must then?
  14. just wondering is a dump valve needed? i have an external wastegate now so my garage that fitted it removed my dump valve because he said its not needed now with the external wastegate is this true? or would i benifit from having both?

  21. i cant think of owt to moan about really i quite like seeing daft things on cars its quite entertaining, life would be boring without people to laugh at like this for example............ saw it in meadowhall car park.......... i think its a polo..........
  22. yeh will be
  23. enjoyed it last year, few of us should be there again this year i would imagine
  24. it was a good few months back now with the alternator i had to pay for that replacing theres no way of proving it was him really, they said it has prob just wore out because it was covered in oil yeh i thought external wastegate was supposed to be better at holding boost thats why i went for it, i have a blitz dual sbc, it has a setting on the back of it for external wastegate so we switched that over but it just dosn't seem to be controlling it much at all i had a thought yesterday i thought id finally cracked it because i remembered that the machanic that fitted it didnt bother fitting some gaskets im sure he fitted a head to mani gasket, but he deffo didnt fit a gasket between the mani and wastegate because he said it didnt need one and im pretty sure he didnt fit one between the turbo and downpipe, but ive been told that it wouldn't effect it so im back to square one again now any ideas???
  25. i shall be there again me thinks
