Could be keen on skirts and rear bar if the shipping isnt a small fortune josh

Looks like a handly little mod, interesting silicone hose layouts/ colour choice there mate!

Does someone still have an active link for those thermostats? Or possibly the suitable operating temperature for them? I see there are a few options out there including single inline type or supply and return type thermos, could anyone recommend what to go for as my set up will be stand alone cooler seperate from the radiator, hoping to fit it in somewhere behind the grille but always open to more advice, many thanks

So still havnt managed to get the boost tester on it yet, but engine light came back on again today after drving open roads for about 150ks P0171 is back left bank lean P0120 throttle position switch P1122 any one got any clues to this one?? Thanks again for your input guys Zach

Hot pipe it josh ?

I had a custom pipe welded up for $60, bought a couple of vac nipples to screw in and used a universal turbosmart kompact which had a 32mm base, easy peasy and asthetically good looking

Is there any reason i couldnt pressure test it at the suction pipe and cap off the bov return? I might sound stupid but would this in theory test through the turbo for leaks and save me getting under the car? Just a thought cheers

I'll have to check with my auto spark, he found the leaks and didnt mention weather it was pressure tested or otherwise, As for the reg hoses they are tied on and im always checking just in case one does pop off, checking for the base pressure im assuming it can be either one scott? As for testing the tester, well i still run the factory gauge ( not much to go off i know) as well as the AM one which is a brand new unit, T'd off just before the factory boost gauge sensor, since the problem arose the factory gauge has never hit the same mark ~1bar I think the next most sensible step is to make a boost leak tester and rule it out for myself, although iv been vigilant in sealing everything and tieing all hoses etc it needs to be seen with my own eyes, and ill let you know how it turns out, any one got any pics of there home made boost tester suited for the stag? Thanks again! Zach

I would hope the o2 sensors good as the dump pipe was only put on about a month ago, pretty comfortable my mechanic would of pointed it if it was the case, he did mention it was in a way more sensible place haha, yeah the fuels about right ~ 650km per tank mixed driving Ill see if i can find the spec for the FPR and give that a go othewise im leaning towards rebuilding the turbo ?

Checked for leaks, although it wont hurt to do it again, plugs have been done LFR7s iridium if i remember, Is it worth putting a FPR with a gauge on ? Relatively cheap and harmless to do i would imagine - whats the standard pressure about 44psi ? Cheers

Hard to say in comparison but yes similar

Hey everyone, Having some issues with the stagea i cant quite figure out. Dont like starting a new topic and iv done some extensive searching on these forums so heres the rundown Car has HDI kit, custom bov pipe ( 3inch from kit ) kompact bov, changed vac hoses except one with restrictor going to WG actuator, boost solenoid blocked off so should be running on wg pressure, scottys dump pipe and a walbro 255 not yet on 12v constant. Somewhere along the line it threw a lean code on bank 1 P0171, i had the fuel pump done along with filter etc thinking this might clear it but to no avail, however the car still idle fine just bleeds off boost around 9psi according to the tyrbosmart guage not the usual 12ish it used to even after ditching the solenoid. So i dropped it off to a reputable auto lekky and had him throw the scanner on it and run some tests, he found a couple of small leaks and while i was there i had the injectors flow tested and serviced for peace of mind. Got the car back, the code had gone but still bleeding off at 8/9 psi and still rather whiney ( as always ), about a week later the CEL came back and gave me the lean code again along with Electronic throttle control ( guessing TB ) and throttle or pedal pos sensor, assuming they both go hand in hand. Unfortunately i needed the car for the week and couldnt get it back to them to investigate further Strangely enough two days later i start the car and now the codes are gone? It feels like its got a little more grunt now too but still bleeding off early!? Sooo im scratching my head, could the AFM be going? Or the wastegate opening early? Heat is not proving to be a factor with the gate AFAIK, the idle is always 650 once warm, idle inHG is around 18/20 ish as mentioned drives fine untill that 8/9psi mark then just spins no more and is a sluggy sounding whistle really. Anyone willing to throw in some input is greatly appreciated, Ps will change the lower rubber pipe before intercooler not supplied with hdi kit to this dolphin hard pipe when it arrives. Cheers!

Yeah how far can you screw it in, how do you stop just the screw from unwinding and get the restrictor to follow- ? Cheers again

Best way to remove the restrictor? Sorry sounds a little noob i just dont want to damage the banjo threads
