Well...

Fitted a new (well 2nd hand) turbo today to the stock S1 i got.

Fired it up and we still got smoke, so either this ones pucked to or the engine is...

Dosnt seem to have blow back, like took the oil cap off and nothing, yet blows smoke on idle and puffs it out when you drive it.

Gonna give it a compression test tommorow and then take it for a drive and see if it cleans up, there was alot of oil in the piping when the last turbo went so hoping its just all this coming through.

I am so pucking over this.

Well picked the Autech up from the transport depo on wednesday and it made the 200km trip home with no problems (bar the guard liners falling down because a certain panel beater didnt attach them).

Happy with everything mechanically, engine feels strong and sounds hot. The work the panel beater has done is pretty crappy. Over spray, orange peel, spots of dust under the paint, things not put back 2getha properly etc etc.

And then id like to know where the HKS coilovers it was supposed to have have gone...

havnt had a chance to get under it yet to check the rust out yet, can see some minor stuff.

It drives so nice, was everything i had hoped it would be (just not compliable). Cant wait to get it run and and tuned once its in its new home.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
