So this just happened again 🙈


Recommended Posts

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

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. Could not get a good reading from it

mine won't go past .5 at the min going to rip out the boost controler tomorrow and have a play with the actuator see how that goes the boost controler it's doing anything at all need to have a proper look at what way it's set up as the guy I got the car from didn't seem to know much about that which is always a worry

Sorry to hear that, I asked as it looked like a really good base to start with.

So done a bit of work on this today and dropped it off for mot so fingers crossed it passes.. 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!

My engine management light comes on with just it having de cat & 5zigen full exhaust, to stop it I put hi lo back on.

Did you do the gearbox oil? 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

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:-)

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
