Skimmy237 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Shit 😟 I can see this being expansive dude lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Definately braided oil feed is a good investment, most aftermarket manis adjust the angle of turbo putting a strain on the feed which will kill it. They are prone to going with any manifold mind you, save yourself an engine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skimmy237 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yea so my first ever big update on a car!Decided to say fuck it and go tits out! Sent my hybrid away to liam_D at midland turbos! And what can I say! It was an amazing service from start to finish... As you all know I'm not 100% clued up with turbos yet so Liam had to perserviear abit with me and help me! Turbo was picked up, rebuilt and sent back ! And made very nice and shiny too ! Always a bonus! Came into abit of problems with the shaft though so was abit deeper into my pockets but he was very helpful and made sure it was sorted to 100%Felt like Christmas So clean ! And again could eat your dinner off it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skimmy237 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yea so after taking me and my mechanic friend 7 hours to change a turbo haha ! (Rounded nuts and couldn't find the grinder) the hybrid is finally on and working ! The thing is absaloutley rapid ! Pulls like fuck, way faster than the standard turbo and I'm only running 0.5 bar! So it's safeOur place of work (my dads factory)Jack found a grinder !Big empty space Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Then wee ran into a few problems, the turbo wasn't positioned right, not blaming anyone atall just a mistake along the lines somewhere so turbo came back out to sort this issue as nothing lined up as you can see and wee didn't want to damage anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 But yea ! Now shees in and pulling like a train !

Haha Just making sure it stays put hahaThe finished article ! Will get more in the morning but I think the carbon pressed plates look sweet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yea guys so finally got a decent update, my clutch started slipping a few weeks back and it got to the point I was flat out doing 70 haha so I thought I better fix it, went for the exedy stage 2, 3 paddel clutch. Really nice not too bad to drive with but mainly it doesn't slip ... So win!!But when the clutch was getting done when it was back together there was a bad misfire, turns out the plugs were fucked!! So they were changed but also the ht leads were fucked aswell so long story short my car is back and I'm happy and love it again 😃!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
