@ Rick - I do plan on getting the EBC after my holiday or next month depending on how much my end of tax year bonus is. If an actuator will do the trick i will have to get one. The boost is so hard. I drove Marks Glanza the other day to compare it and his power delivery is more gradual where as soon as mine comes on boost it's like it being hit by an express train. Is this normal?? Bourkey

If it is the third time by the same company cut the Fecker off and throw it at them. They are clearly taking the piss out of you there. Make a formal complaint to the University if you have to. Im not sure on the licensing aspect of things but there are a lot of companies doing it without a license like cowboys to make money. Bourkey

@ Dub Se7en - You should ahve told me as i am not that clever. I just did it ecause i thought i'd be leaking air. @ Rick - Yes it was the nipple. I am a bulb! What would solve my fuel cut issues now? I don't want to be spending money on things that wont work. Would a HKS/Toy tuning actuator do the job as i just want it sorted with having to spend tons on loads of parts as i have a holiday in 2 months. Cheers Bourkey

!!! Problem fixed and the boost is mega!!!!! Now next problem. Im hitting fuel cut quite easily now. Im gonna duck tape the induction kit for the time being but what could properly solve the problem??? Bourkey

If your right i will love you forever!!!!!!!!! I will update you when i get home to let you know if it works. Bourkey

@ Dave - . Well thats good to know it aint that. @ Rick - Oh my god you must be right!!!! I have blocked it off!!! I thought id be leaking air if i left this open!!!! Im going to remove it tonight when i get home.Is there a good chance that this will solve my problem??? Bourkey

@ Rick - Nope the solenoid is not there. I took the whole hi lo boost function out and all the pipework to it as well. Is this good or bad? Im thinking that just putting the actuator on would rectify this. Am i right. @ Dave - The FMIC is one of Dave Burwashes Autobahn replica's. I doubt it is that as Mark has the same one and he hasn't had any pressure drops. Bourkey

The engine itself does not have any restriction on at at all as it is from an EP82 and the air con pump removed as well. The mods i have are: FMIC Induction kit No air con Gutted cat I have also ported the wastegate a little as well when the engine was out of the car. So if im running 6psi what does that mean. Am i running low boost??? Thanks a lot Bourkey

Im at work now and just checked my diary. It is free at the moment so if it remain free for the next couple of weeks im there. I'll book the afternoon off to go i reckon I'll drag Mark down there as well if i can. Bourkey

Howdy, Last weekend i was in Marks Glanza and he properly opened her up and it was dam fast. So fast i am thinking that it was quicker than mine so there was only one way to tell. I got a cheap boost guage off Alex and hooked it up to both cars. Now he is running 12 psi and i am running 6 psi. Mine being a fairly standard engine im guessing mine is standard pressure and his has been upped using his HKS Actuator by the previous owner. In a few weeks when im well more than run in i was thinking of getting the actuator to up my boost slightly. What effect would this have as i don't know at what pressure fuel cut kicks in. Thanks a lot Bourkey

HMMMMMMmmmmm. I will check my works diary but i might be able to attend this one. Not been to a Bluewater meet in a while. Bourkey

@ Montanajr - I ported the wastegate a little when the engine was out but i didn't want to do it too much as i didn't want to wreck it. I could get it done properly if needed be though as i just wouldn't want to damage it. @ Dub Se7en - Yeah i am waiting until it is run in properly. I've done quite a few miles on it now so the next thing i need to do is the 100 oil change. @ Kentris - Yeah Phil knows you. He was asking what you were up to and i told him you were coming back up to Manchester in a few weeks. Phil wants a Glanza as well as he has been working on mine and marks and wants turbo in his life!!!! lol. Oh yeah i realised today that we forgot to put a bolt back into the passenger front caliper. It's been knocking since the swap. It's was worrying when i found out today. Off to the scrappy (NB FOR THE BOLT NOT TO SCRAP MY CAR ) tomorrow. Bourkey

@ Montanajr - What mods you got? I've got a FMIC and no BOV so do you think it will happen to me? I'll put up a spec list of my car shortly as i haven't dont one yet. Bourkey

I may be interested in these. Bourkey

@ Rick - Yeah i know how to do that but it's just the other bits as Rob said about boost creep and will i hit fuel cut? I just don't want to have the hassle of fuel cut and stuff at the mo thats why im cautious about it. Do you reckon i will have problems with it? @ Rob - I don't think i would do the mesh but im certianly considering the filter off the turbo though. I want to get rid of some of the lag i have got with the large front mount and no BOV. Does any of you know if this increases power and turbo spooling time? @ Kentris - It's such a small world it's unreal. Mark joined here recently and he somehow knew my sister as well. You amazed me when you mentioned both their names. Whats your real name as im seeing Phil tomorrow and i'll ask if he remembers you? Bourkey

Wow been off for a day and my topic is buzzing @ RME1 - It was crap trust me. We were asking everyone until we found a shite little garage that had them. I was so chuffed when we got them. @ Rick - Yes i am intending on doing it in the future but i was reading about fuel cut and crap like that and i just didn't want the hassle to be honest. I really wanted it as well. Could you enlighten me in what i would need to do it sucessfully? Cheers bud @ Kentris - Oh my God you little F**ker!!!!!! How the Feck do you know that!!! I've known Alex for about 18 months now and i met Phil through Alex. Now Phil is my mechanic who does pretty much everything i can't do @ Cal - Could you tell me how you have done it? @ Enzo - Yeah i was thinking of a 1.0l micra . I had one as my first car, a bubble one. Was fun at the time and i could get 350 - 400 miles to a tank. I'll decide in a week or two. My girlfriend loves it. I've let her have a go as well with me in it . Apart from me (duuurr) and Dub se7en she is the only person i've let drive it. My mum doesn't really under stand what it is, she likes the shiney pipes and thats about it. My dad thinks im mental and im going to end up in a tree as i've never had anything near as powerful as this. I've have got a boost gauge off Alex which im gonna throw in this weekend if i can but apart from that nothing more exciting yet except im just getting more miles on it to run it in. Bourkey

99p bid you fool!!!! I may just beat you with an exhaust for saying that you fairy ;) I can't wait to see the car tonight. It's gonna look fecking minted!!!!!!! Also im making you get some silver bulbs for them indicators. Bourkey

I was clueless too bud. i've learnt so much on here!!! Bourkey

Yeah come and see me and Mark and have a peek at our cars. Whenever you like bud is no problem (as long as im not at work of course) There is lots bits you can do to the cars as you will see when you see us. Give us a Pm when your back in town mate Bourkey

OOOOooooo i'll be waiting for you ;) Bourkey

Can't wait for this now!!!!!! It's is gonna be mint!!! Bourkey

Yes you driving me round for an hour looking for two stupid little bolts was mega lol!!! ;) ;) Bourkey

Happy birthday bud Bourkey

;) ;) Bourkey

Yep they are the ones. Tasty looking beasts aren't they!!!!! I haven't seen the ink one in a couple of weeks but the blue one is still there. Yeah i know where you mean. I have a friend who works in that Asda. How often are you up here then? If you get a Starlet/Glanza we are going to start a good little Manchester gathering. There was none up here a couple of years ago. Bourkey
