but i still get the problem, umm i mean some times it works sometimes it dosent. i have had a fun time pulling the bits out but dont want to do it again..

anyway thanks for ur help Danny. what you told me was right with the hbrake. but my mate thinks it is not connected or loose at the ignition, if thats where its meant to be connected what wire would it be?

The ignition wire on the tt is green or blue and connects to the black with red trace on the ignition wiring loom. all the main power connections should be soldered, and probably are not. Pull it apart and check it out.

Hey all,

Ive got the timer but I cant work out where the wiring harness plugs into. Where is the plug it should go into? is it behind all the steering column panels? Do i need to remove all the panels to get to it or is it accessible from underneath?

If you got the adapter, with male and female 6pin plugs, then it would be easier to remove the lower dash panel, and unplug the ignition switch. plug it into your loom then plug the other one into the spare plug on yer new loom. hook the grey wire to the handbrake, yellowey wire under the cup holder. then follow the instructions to hook up earth and white wire to the ECU. use the jap instructions for beter quality pin outs. Hope that makes some sense im draaaained :D

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
