Blitz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 like a thermal flask keeps cold cold and hot hot makes senseps where did you get your gaskets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Big decision here. Depends where it is though if you're that fussy - you can't see mine normally: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cuz I haven't a clue what gaskets you're on about lolJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 looking good so far lads im liking a purple one to be honest and as of yet, i havent even seen the manifold yet so i have no idea where abouts the takeoff for it is Keep the pictures coming though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Silver tends to corrode a little, so best bet is to go for anything but base silver as the rest are anodised I had no choice as mine came with the kit. Had the choice I'd go red or gold Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grum-glanza Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 whats the story with wastegates because my turbo packed up so im decideing to go with an external wastegate setup but when i was looking at them some are realy cheap like 84 quid on ebay and then i seen tial ones up around 800 quid i know there is different models of them but whats the difference from one to another Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Heatwrap keeps heat in so you get higher temps etc thoughAnd ben its a td04 , td04s come off scoobys so i went dingles suburu for gaskets ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyD Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 hmmmmmmmmmmm im still leaning towards purple me thinks but i was told that as they get quite hot, the anodising sometimes doesnt last as long?????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
