It has come to that time of the year where my baby needs a service. This will be first service since ive taken over, and ive got this weird 5-year warranty thingy that requires me to service my car by accredit mechanics or garages.

im gonna need some Bendix Ultimate brake pads put in as well, as my car has NO brakes left...

Just out of curiosity, who do you guys use for car servicing, and how much do they charge?

Cheers people!

Joe

Bendix pads are good but i am using it currently and it gives off a shitload of brakedust and you have to constantly clean your wheel....oohh try boostworx, turbotune if your down south or 4's and more or tilbrooks if your up north

if your north side of city, give fours n more a go, they have been doing my car for about 5 years now. Froms services, to dyno, to engine swap, to ecu tuning, they have done it all and are very good at it. Give them a call on 82602011 and have a chat to brenton or david, always very helpful.

Your '5 year warranty' isn't worth the paper it is written on. When you go to claim, they will never pay, and say it is normal wear and tear, or you have abused the car.

Service it yourself - it could not be easier.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
