Looking very smart .

Ordered mine already.

My silver glanza has bronze colour wheels & looks good.

We only got wind & rain at the moment.

The crash is very sad news .

Congrats dude, Have a good one

Think everyone wants them.

Sweet looking GT

Is there much power gains with the NOS ?

id say leave it abit plus wait for them to fix the potholes first?

I agree with you there

Knowing the council around london they will get fixed just in time for next winter

its always somthing silly like that glad u got to the bottom of it dude. but your a plank for not noticing it

only joking dude!

I feel a plank to be honest

Have been checking everything from above .

Was only when i was sitting on the floor thinking about how much i sell this & that for ,

I could hear a slight hiss noise

There was prob nothing work with my original turbo !!

Might get it refurbed

Found a small crack in the intercooler pipe ( damn speedhumps )

Replaced it & now i have boost

Thank you all for the advice given

Was on the verge of stripping the car for parts & starting a fresh with another V.

Will be going for a nice blast soon & enjoy my boost.

Tried with & without aftermarket boost controller

Factory boost solinoid has already been bypassed

run the vac pipe from the actuator straight to the nipple on the turbo. what boost do you get then?

What nipple on the actuator are you on about

as the turbo is connected to the nipple on the top of the actuator

the nipple on the back is connected to the EFI pipe

right, i have no idea what im on about, but no one was asked this and its worth a try. is the FMIC ok?

A stone could have periced it causing a leak therefore no boost? like i said i have on idea what im on about.

hope it get sorted soon,

Checked & no damage

Still no boost.

Good idea thiough

Can i ask a question for my own knowledge.

What does the Circ clip do?

Where is it located?

The circlip is on the pin that stop the actuator falling of the wastegate.

Look down the front of your manifold & you will see the small clip.

do you have a aftermarket BOV??

Yes & its working

When revving you can see the piston moving

checked all the intercooler pipe joints no splits anywhere/

Circlip is on the actuator.

I was revving the car & manully opening the wastegate with a long screwdriver to see if the turbo will spool but nothing.

I do appreciate the help.

I know it sounds annoying but might be worth taking apart the front mount and checking each part of the kit mate

Joe

chwck for what !!

all joints are tight

yes they are mate , new ones

If you are a man with money get a HKS adjustable actuator and a front mount intercooler (worth it in the long run anyway) will narrow down the problem.

Joe

I have a front mount intercooler.

First turbo stopped working

Got another actuator still didn't work

Second turbo & another actuator

Still not working !!

Thats where im puzzled on this

I work three days a week delivering catering equipment.

Job is shite but it pays the bills.

Boost gauge is only going to 2 psi max

All intercooler pipe & vac pipes are done up tight

Got no leaks anywhere.

Still no boost.

Anyone know what could cause this ?

When you relocate your air filter to behind the grille , where do you put the vac hose that was on the EFI pipe ?

The other end of the vac hose connects to the actuator

Also what is the black gizmo thingy that sits on top of the EFI pipe & is it needed ?

A bit puzzled on this

All the intercooler pipes are done up tight.

When you rev the car you can only just hear the dump valve , so there is some pressure there.

I will replace all the vac pipes in the morning as i have some spare.

Also when you rev the car & manually open the wastegate with a long screwdriver the turbo will not spool !

I Got another turbo on wednesday

Put it on & still no boost

Below are a few pics i took before it got too dark.

Can anyone see if i have connected anything wrong.
