get that bay tarted up !!!

haha. quimby says it all, no need to worry in the head bolts department.lol

didnt think so.mines alot worse for flow and does fine. so that's the cooler ruled out.

ttt

okies well let us know how u get on with cam belt/timing points ie if they are all correct. as for the boost issue, its still a factor BUT even up your top end revs just under a bar (when it finally makes it) powers still not that good which is meaning something else isnt right which I guess is what ure tuners on about. :-( just to emphasise about the intercooler thing. mine goes through much more "awkward" angles than ures and I have no flow issues.

dude I just studied ure *air pressure* and it doesn't evwn go up IMEDIATLEY and purposely spike and then settle down. thatll be boost control. for me I swear by manual boost controller.they do not go wrong and mine works beautifully well. I get a lil spike to 1.04 and imediatley settles to 1.01 and holds so well.thats in conjunction with a cheapy external. have u lapped in ure external wastegate valve ? I know its a tial but still I wouldnt hesitate to do it the day I got it. could also be a small boost leak not helping with spooling depending on whether u find ure boist control issue

also an obvious question is whats ure compression on each cylinder ??

thats a low figure without a doubt. I wouldnt have thought it is the intercooler either.defo unlikely. so I take it u have double checked all your timing marks(bottom pully,cam dots and top cam pully) and also the timing itself is on 10° btdc. please dont hate me for asking the above as its something even I got wrong until a day or so ago. lol.

come on guys we are all friends here.haha I did really shite at school and got f's in most stuff and lucky if I got a d or an e and I know a fook lot more than the general public,I regularly do car work and maintenance/fault finding on cars and done work for people on here aswell...also often told I am in the wrong game etc etc. im no genuis by any means but can do cars.

yeah bit excitement there wow. £50 ebay jobby ,daily for 8 months, needed lapping in initially

the diaphram in either a tial or a cheapy is still a silcone style material thing and heat will not help how it wears. my external sits right down bottom of car and is cooled down there and heats not an issue,infact I can grab mine after a normal 1hour drive and its just warm. this will help undoubtedly the life of the wastegate.thats why I dont like the wastegates that sit ontop of the mani and only a few inches of off it.

what phil said about the lapping in is incredibly important ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

have been running a cheapy copy ewg for around a year now DAILY. It performs superbly and is flawless. never ever goes over what I set it to. however I think the only reason it works so well is because I lapped in the valve and seat so they matched properly as standard they are not a good fit and / or matched. I would ideally go for a tial one but dont have that cash. very very happy with my ewg. as with any wastegate the boost control is a huge part of how it works. />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS2q6G6kmB4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

mobil fully synthetic 5/30 .used it for years and my engine has superb condition internals. wouldn't use anything else. even on a sportif I stick by what I say.

based on them having 175 from new.

haha.well apparently mines lost 5psi in 15years. we cant all have extreme wear now can we!!!.

savage piccys above.so cool to have a place of work thats enjoyable and different I bet !!!

im so shocked it all fits in the frontal area with just that black pipe needing modding.soo much room in our little bays !!

Could well be the new in thing ,all the kids will be doing it after its pioneered by colin.lol :-D

When that search bar is used...............its so good. :-D

at worst u will sit with. I rexkon slighty faster tbh.
