  1. Astra MK5 1.7CDti 280mm 5 hole discs (has 4x100) (60mm centre bore)

    Work needed: Mill them down to total diameter 277.5mm, you need to take 1.5mm off the thickness where it mates to the hub, and finally get a spigot reducer to fit the disc to the hub exactly

    A bit long winded but these brakes are awesome, went crazy on track at Donington and they didn't fade once :)

  3. started my glanza up this morning and it took ages to get going and noticed straight away it was misfiring.

    so changed the distributor cap, ht leads, and spark plugs...

    but still no spark on cylinder one.... but when i rev it up above 3k it starts to make a tapping sound like metal on metal......?

    no smoke and just had the headgasket done about 2 weeks ago.

    engine mods: zisco mani, zisco decat, tail wastegate, fmic, relocated air filter and running 0.6bar of boost.

  6. check dump valve aint blocked up mate or if valve aint opening enough then it wont dump compressed air have you cahnged boost up since fitting fmic???

    right ste ive checked the dump valve and even changed it to be sure is this (cahnged) changed to boost, turned itb up ??

  7. Nothing wrong with allowing it to recirculate back through the turbo, you will get the chatter sounds and it goes back through the turbo veins.

    I have been running this setup for nearly 2 years with no problems and also on numerous other turbo cars before that. Its down to preference i guess, chatter or dump sound, I prefer the chatter :)

    If its not coming out of your dump valve its most likely jammed, take it apart and check the spring isnt stuck :p

    the chatter is actually compressor surge and is very bad for the turbo mate. more boost you run the more damaging the surge.

    thats y i wanted some1 elses opinion dude!!!

    I am running this set up as you can see on this link. I am using a blitz super sound dump value but the problem I am having is when I come off the throttle it doesnt seem to be dumping the air, it seem to be going back though the turbo and spinning it the oppsite way that what it should be, which aint fooking good!!!...i have spoke to nick at tune developments and he said to ajust the screw at the top of the dump value which i did and it did seem to do much, but with my TMIC on its fine. Can anyone give me any suggestions or help me please?

    Has no 1 had this problem ???
