Spoon_tuned Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Worked on the car all day trying to sort the idle which i've managed to do but i have a major boost leak somewhere checked nearly everything still can't find out why ordered some more parts got a nice build up of parts atm waiting to be fitted…Went and took a few photos last week that's about it for now not a big update oh well….

Spoon_tuned Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Got a week off work this week so i have been collecting parts ready to fit to the car i started off yesterday as we had nice weather for once managed to take all the exhaust system and decat manifold and turbo off ready for a new exhaust decat and manifold to go back on bought all new gaskets etc etc and service parts ready to be fitted.... So we got cracking started by removing all the shitty aircon system compressor, belt, pipes etc etc and until you remove it you don't realise how much it weighs it's really surprising i also got a front mount intercooler off my cousin to fit but would need the turbo rotating as it was custom made for that. Then we started on the turbo Etc and once we got the turbo off i saw a big issue straight away the waste gate looked like someone had smacked it with a chisel the crack in it was massive and obviously where my boost leak had been coming from all this time so major set back atm as it's hard to track down a decent ct9 so now i'm thinking TD04 but can't really afford it atm which is a bummer. Before i took it all apart i went somewhere local to take a few pictures messing around with my strobe light and petrol generator see what i could come up with really needed a soft box as it really over exposes the image i had a little play with light painting with my lamp as i forgot my other tubular florescent light for light painting nothing to special as it was sooooooooo cold Edited February 5, 2014 by Spoon_tuned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
