black rev 1/2 turbo with external wastegate - teeside park

Post by paul_h »

saw a black rev1/2 with 5/6 spoke alloys, looked like spit rims, park up over teeside park. Then pulled off, nailed it through 1st......looked quick, sounded even quicker.


Definately had an external wastegate. Also idle sounded rough, possibly had a set of cams?????

anyone here.

Can't really post values on here sarah ... site rules .. but a routine service is usually around 100 bananas including top quality oil and new filters + additional parts if required .. like pads and stuff ! :mrgreen:

Cheers JJ, just wanted a rough idea of what price to expect, as i've never had to have a car serviced :oops: So i'll probably pop round in the next few weeks :mrgreen:

Not sure what time i'll be able to get down for tonight, might be a bit later on... but i'll try show my face!

Was a good night :) Nice to see some more faces!

Was abit slippery on the slip road and coming off that roundabout tho!! JJ taking advantage of the slippery roundabout which was entertaining from infront lol

I found the problem on my car, the pipe from the turbo outlet to the hot pipe had split completly from top to bottom, not around the circumference which i was shocked by, thats a 3ply samco hose aswell!

I was boosting 1-1.1bar by my controller, first time it has driven without a misfire, so im not complaining, at least its only a piece of pipe!

Hope everyone got home safely!

Graeme
