I have only ever taken it off bit by bit once. I cut my fingers many times so i vowed never to do it again. I even take the radiator for more space to faf around in . Bourkey

Nah i do it slightly different rob. I take it off in one big piece with the mani turbo and cat all in one. It's so much easier. Then i put it in a vice to hold it when i take it apart . It is a gutted cat Sparky . Bourkey

All manis seem to crack at some point. It just annoying!!!! Bourkey

I would get it off and sorted asap mate before it turns undrivable. The day i went to sort mine out i had to move the car a couple of yards and i started it up and it didn't sound healthy at all. Luckily i was taking it all off that day. Sort out the small problem before it becomes a big one . Bourkey

Im not a fan of Jade at all. She annoys the hell out of me big time. But i massively feel for her and her kids in this situation. I would be doing the exact same thing if i was in her shoes. Bourkey

Faaaaaaarrrrkkkk that turbo is going to have a kick to it!!!! Nice work mate. Bourkey

It was all free bud. My dad and his mate did all the work on it :surrender:. The amount of work would of cost a fair bit as well. The turbo porting was done with a dremel with grinding stones and also a drill on the wastegate. It took a good day to do the turbo and a hour at least to do the work on the manifold. Im so glad my dad had the stuff to do this otherwise i'd be paying a fair bit. Bourkey

It's having a good rest this week :surrender:. I car share to work so it is just a weekend toy now :drunk2:. Bourkey

:surrender: you have the right idea. Bourkey

Cheers guys :surrender:. I've been hammering it all weekend to be honest as i love the kick on it now it is all fixed and working sweet. Im just waiting for a fuel rail adapter and im going 1 bar in the near future :drunk2:. Bourkey

:surrender:. Mint!!!!!!! Bourkey

Not a fan of the twin 4" exhaust but the rest of the car looks mint :drunk2: Welcome to the club :surrender: Bourkey

Yes a crack would make a massive difference. I have recently realised ther has been a loss of power in mine and i have found some good sized cracks in the manifold. The first sign is a louder exhaust note. Thats is when i noticed mine had a problem. Bourkey

Right been a busy little bee this weekend. All started like this :drunk2: 1stly the mani. Autobahn manis are so shit it's unreal. I hade seral engineers look at it and they all said it was extremely poor quality. The welds, the brackets every bit of it. After pulling all the mani and turbo off i found a good few cracks that i have had to get fixed. The surface that sits against the engine has also been skimmed as it was half a mm out wich is massive in engineering terms. Anyway here are the results. Before After Next the turbo. I have ported and polished the internals. The exhaust side has been opened up massively to improve flow. The wastegate has been ported properly so i avoid any boost creep and hitting fuel cut. The difference is a good one. The boost comes on a couple of hundered revs earlier and is nice and strong all the way to the end of the rev range. Here are the differences in the standard and my one. Before After Then it all went back on again and then everything is perfect :surrender:. Bourkey

You can run safely at 1 bar and a regulator easily. Look at Dub Se7ens build and it is the only thing he has used. He obviously has it set up properly on a rolling road but properly setup it is fine. That is what im getting setup for as well. 3 bar of fuel pressure is what i have been advised to use as well. Bourkey

Yep :surrender: Bourkey

I told you that you were going to come mwhahahahahahahaaaa :surrender:. Bourkey

The spooky bollard :surrender: Bourkey

I had a 1.0l Micra and my mate has a Punto. I wooped him with my Micra. What a beast it was :surrender:. Bourkey

Im actually crying that is so funny :surrender: Bourkey

Very cool. It will be good to see what effect it all has . Bourkey

Looks tidy but be careful with her as Keighley is know to sell shitters. Also that FMIC is as good as useless behind that numberplate. Get the plate shifted to one side . Bourkey

It's supposed to be relatively good weather up here at the weekend. About time. Bourkey

Seen the start of that but never seen the ending. I couldn't believe he was just left there and the fire was concentrated on. At least have someone helping him. It looked like he had forgotten how to walk. Bourkey
