just thought, when you were adjusting the actuator, which way did you turn it?

every way under the sun to try and get it to work, the new one came thought the other day so will fit that at the weekend.

any luck with the gasket for the exhaust?

it's not urgent you could post it if that's easier,

i know it's madness, well i will find out Saturday if it is actually the actuator or not.

also on the rattle side of things i get a squeak went i turn the engine off, almost like a belt or compressor wheel is rubbing or something.

Right update time... this is good :) and bad :(

so the good stuff first lol...

Had the head and block off and got the valve stem seals replaced, valves reseated, head skimmed, new head gasket etc

all done and back on with new cambelt, gaskets the lot lol

At the same time i got my Hybrid turbo fitted along with a new mild steal SPS manifold! YAY!

also got the HDI ecb-r fitted along with the oil catch can

white line rear fixed anti role bar is on and doing good things

Razo straight style shifter fitted

Got a RRFPR and gauge to go on

Got some nice new gauges... Apexi 60mm boost gauge and HKS 60mm oil temp gauge which are housed in a lovely double gauge pillar pod from Dave

had a custom charge pipe made for my intercooler by Ricky (starbus) with no bov port for fluttery goodness lol... i will chop and change between my HKS ssqs and the no bov ported pipe as and when the feeling take me lol

Now...the bad stuff :(

the timing is out on my car and so is running crazy retarded at the moment :( don't have full boost till 5k and stall a lot when reversing and in first gear.

so i have booked it in to be professional re timed and maybe RR'd to check the afr's are all good.

my current blitz backbox was modified to fit in japan and was done so in some weird way so couldn't get it off to fit my new exhaust...hence why that is for sale lol...so i am leaving the original on and getting a straight through custom midsection made to replace the standard midsection.

I have a screw in my tire and now need a new one as it's to close to the tire wall to be replaced :(

so mixed feelings at the moment :surrender: happy thats it back but still got LOADS to sort out to get it running 100%

will get pics up soon :drunk2:
