Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev 2 overbooting

Its a piece of metal with a hole in the middle that fits between the decat pipe and the exhaust system. If the exhaust pipe work is 3" and you buy a 2.5" restrictor ring, the exhaust will then operator like a 2.5" exhaust system (less flow), so so less boost. Its a way of masking an i...

Think Rev 1 & 2 is around 13psi, but Rev 3 is around 17psi (stock).

[Mk2] [Turbo] ct20b and decat fitted to a MK2 Rev2

Just had a CT20b fitted to my rev 2 with a decat pipe. The garage didn't know what to do with my cat senor, so wired it directly to my aftermarket Exhaust Gas Temp sensor! strangely enough this doesn't do much. So 2 questions: 1. What should I do with the Cat Temp Sensor to get the light to go out? ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Mieage adjustment

If you buy a new set of dials from Toyota and can prove the old mileage, then they can setup the new dials to match (so I'm led to believe).

[Mk2] [Turbo] CT26 Turbo Rebuild

Has anyone stripped down a CT26 turbo and performed a rebuild?

I've managed to get hold of a second CT26 and need help rebuilding it, as £500 is a bit much for an exchange!

[Mk2] [Turbo] Wastegate Cleaning/Lubrication on a CT26

When driver, sometimes I get boost very slowly.

Spoke to turbotechnics and I think that my problem may be a sticking wastegate.

Does anyone know the best way to do this?

Also are the CT26 maintenance kits any good on ebay, and does anyone have a guide?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Actuator problem?

You may be able to help me here!

I find that my Turbo starts off boosting fine, then sometimes it ends up taking ages for the boost to build.

So if the actuator is sticking, does that mean I'd need to get a replacement or can it be fixed?

I've bought one, but still haven't got around to fitting it.
