Now the GTs legal i can make it down and meet you guys

Fensport do an alloy one for £100 if you dont get sorted on here

I think the one with jam written in grey is a jam fcd lad

Mate pm scottieboy hes looking one of these.

i text you there lad

Backbox off..straight pipe welded on. Sorted! Or get a buddyclub spec 2 sourced lol

Pm me bud ill get you the number of a guy in banbridge selling rebuilt engines

Is the screamer too loud compared to the sound of exhaust then?

If ya think their both leaking, it may just be the sound of them thats making you think that? Lol

Are they adjustable dude? Mine holds boost fine doesnt drop/leak to my knowledge. I dunno much about the lights on the dials in relation to boost as im in a gt, but id say get a boost gauge plugged in tob find out whats going on bud.

by the way thers a shitty baileys dumpvalve on my gt which sounds more like a leak than anything lol..thw noise might be just down to soundof the bov itself

Raised boost making it leak? Doubt it mate, is it slower spool since you changed the bov? What rpm do you hit full boost at?

Standards .65 so your running a bit over stock boost

Bout 30-40 quid max mate and you cam use another oem hg

by the way burt anything over .85 will be dangerous without management or a fpr set up by a reputable tuner. If your hittin .9 an no fuel cut there must be an fcd fitted then, cpuld be dangerous if not checked

It does have to be fully shut mate as you have to preload the aactuator by twisting it in a few extra turns. This helps the turbo spool better as the wastegate wont open instantly with low pressure and release the air, it will require a bit more force generated by tbe turbo to open the waztegate therefore spool will be quicker.

A few more pics before the dark set in...

Very nice pic bud lovely colour

@Aidan & James:Thanks lads its coming along well, slowly but surely! puts a smile on my face with every journey, i had to drive a 1.4 Ibiza home the other day and getting back into the gt after that reminded me how much fun it is @Ste yeah Roadrunner is an old and pretty rare set up now. Supposedly great quality and to be honest I love the kit too, it made such a difference compared to my ported oem manifold and a decat that looked like a spiders web lol

like the choice of turbo man. How is it to drive now does it spool much quicker? Still a great power figure at .9 Bar there compared with the tdo4

After a good clean [/your L]

Plans for now are to finish making my alloy oil catch can and get a short-route FMIC sourced and fitted. Then its a gearbox rebuild for spring time and more boost! Nice xmas present from the wee bro Can give the car a good wax now while its sitting parked up..

Bought a digital water temperature sensor & gauge to fit into my Blitz rad hose to keep an eye on things, the stock temp gauge has a tendency to only tell you problems after they've happened!
