BigMan Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 welcome along mate you have came to the right place! Quote
stevogt Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 think my hg is fine its been running for about 2 hours no misfire but i was loosing boost or something it was bellowing whiteish blue smoke out on tickover after boosting so i thaught it had had it but then realised a vac pipe was off what i think is the solenoid for the wastegate and i had a slight split in the dumpvalve pipe (the small one on the top) it all seems to be good now still get abit of blue every now and then but when the turbo finally gives in il get a hybrid im still pretty new to turbo cars its my first one and its pretty easy to work on 3.5 hours to do timing belt and it took me 3 hours to fit a clutch i cant complain at that Quote
