Maybe try a set of extractors or even a stock NA exhaust manifold on the exhaust. I'm shure you'll pick up some torque over the abortion that's hanging off the side of your head now. Then throw it on a dyno and try advancing the base timing?

Otherwise take it to another mechanic, get the turbo put back on and sell the car!

Buy a barina.

Lmao Thats pretty creative. Butt ugly though. I say if your on P plates you should be driving a slow car until your on opens. Keep that bad boy in place for giggles. But get it chromed. I honestly dont know what a cop would say when they saw it.

"What is this?"

"Its a Chrome Plated Turbo bypass kit officer"

lol yeah it probably makes great entertainment for all you car fanatics but i clearly stated that i made a mistake by getting this done, you learn from your mistakes and move on, besides i didnt do this myself so no one can put the lame arse mechanic job on my back im just the lame arse one who paid someone to do it.. and im now reversing the mistake by getting it all put back togethor, thanks SECURITY & JonnoHR31 and everyone else who helped out, ill check it out and post some pics when its all done, by the way i should be able to get the yellow rubber tubing from most car places yeah? like auto barn?

by the way i should be able to get the yellow rubber tubing from most car places yeah? like auto barn?

doesnt have to be yellow. any rubber hose that size will do. all auto shops should have it

f**k me sideways, quite a novel idea.

seriously take it to some one that knows what they are doing if you dont know what goes where or what material to use for hosing etc then you should not really be playing with it.

so URAS how do you expect new people to learn things if they keep taking it to an expert, i bought this car as a project im pretty tight with 90% of what goes on under the hood and in the cabin just a little lost with the turbo, whats the point of talking to a bunch of losers who just wonna take the piss out of ya, just confuses me thats all i thought this was a social network for people to express ideas and help others.. if you get off giving people shit on a car website you seriously need to look in the mirror and tell yourself to get a life.

thanks for the people who help out young car minds.

Don't take it personally man. The reason this is so funny cause most of us have never seen a turbo blocked off like that before. Most people just put a set of extractors on or something, doing it the way yours is done is definetely thinking outside of the box.

IMO only thing you fucked up with the install was still running the turbo ecu and the retarded timing (turbo motor = lower compression so you could get away with advancing timing a bit). thats the reason why your car is so sluggish. the way it was done was possibly the quickest and easiest way of ripping the turbo out otherwise you would've had to throw in the n/a manifold and the front pipe to suit. then putting it back together would've been the same amount of work and snapping manifold studs isnt fun kids.

all youve got to do is run the oil and water lines and its good to go back to normal. its not rocket science and you could do it yourself.

if you can get a programmable ecu into it and get it to a dyno you'll be fine. you might get a few funny looks from the tuners though. its definitely different.

in NSW the fine for driving a restricted vehicle is something like 7 demerit points.... so bye bye license if you get busted.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
