Whitenoize Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 this is something I never had to do but probs should do soon for peace of mind, my auto has only done 56000 miles & the gear box oil looks clean dark red colour. I'm going to do all the oils and antifreeze etc just so I know it's all good before I turn the boost up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yeah probs best to mate, mine is all standard apart from just fitting a 5zigen pro race exhaust system & wepr de cat & that's close to hitting fuel cut, my engine management light flickers on when I boot it, I have ordered a boost gauge to see what's going of I did fit one at the weekend but that was faulty.

I managed to fuck a few things up as well taking out the boost controler.i disconnected everything and removed the boost controler..and now my boost gauge, fog light and number plate lights don't work I know it's strange lol so just told the garage to do what they can with the lights before they mot it I fucking hate electrics!

I could do with doing mine? doing the box oil this week done all other fluids etc I think you just fill the auto box through the dip stick can't find a bung on the side to fill it ? Any idea I'm impressed with the ct12 turbo on this car seems a good little upgrade from the ct9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thats good to no, do they bolt on to a ct9 manifold? Do you get boost creep? My ct9 needs porting, no idea hoping you could tell me what to do with gearbox oil change & what oil to use:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Will let you know about the box oil only had a quick look today I'm just going to order the oil from the oil man on here he suggested two different types I could use.. Yeah the ct12 was on the car when I got it don't get boost creap at all its just adjusted with the actuator took my boost controller out as it was wired in terribly Edited August 23, 2015 by Whitenoize Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 OK cheers, sounds a good little set up with that ct12turbo, I don't no much about the ct12 set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
