So i finally took steps towards shielding my pod today

headed to bunnings in search of perspex

i was appalled when they wanted $45 for a smallish sheet so i bailed

buttttttttt............ on the way out i noticed they had plastic buckets for the princely sum for $0.94 so i thought to myself "what the hell...lets see what happens"

One bucket

Yeah, thats gotta be better than a poke in the eye with a stick :(

I know its not high tech but its better than having a pod soaking up all the heat from the turbo and it cost less than a dollar

let me know what you think

Step away from the bucket please :) .

Your car deserves better than this, what did it do to warrant this punishment?

Check out some plastics suppliers or use some flat alloy sheet.

I'd rather a poke in the eye, then I couldn't see what you've done.

Throw that abomination in the bin and let us never speak of this again.

f**k i thought i was being harsh.honesty is the best policy dale

Sorry if I offended you Tom, clearly you have excellent taste in cars, you're obviously having an "off" day.

It happens; I had an "off" day once, in the early 90's and ended up driving a Triumph :) . At least your mistake only cost 94 cents...

But please, take it off, it makes the baby Jeebus cry.

Cheers, Dale

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
