StuDoc 72 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Fitted ma new turbo but was smoking like hell coming off boost so the mob tht done the seals will prob needa do them again. So ive refitted my old turbo and now it will only boost to 0.2 bar :S fuck knows what the score is only thing tht i can think of is the standard actuator has 2 vac nipples on it and im assuming ive put the vac pipe from the turbo onto the wrong one. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StuDoc 72 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Glasgow turbo specialists in Govan mate theyve been decent enough though these things happen could be anything thats causing it. I got it off a guy on here called hazzagray. I needto wait and see they said the bearing housin could have a tiny crack and thats where its leaking under pressure just a matter of being patient.

StuDoc 72 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 forging it was always part of the plan but id only be forging it to future proof the engine. Dont think ill be going beyond my CT9 for a while its cost too much it will still be a stealthy wee beast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
