cars in the workshop atm. Just called them about GFB bleed they dont carry them. He said that most peeps happy with the turbosmart said its the new model. He also said that most bleed valves spike under heavy load anyways.

Oh well time will tell. Oh and when u guys say spiking Im guessing u mean something like when u give it a good amount of throttle at high revs/under load that the turbo tends to stutter sort of like a blocked carb or something? Forgive my newbness but not sure exactly what that means...

Ok just drove it for the first time. Yep boost comes quicker and harder @ 11psi. Gave it a bit nowhere near redline (not game yet) and can definately notice more power guess with the twin dump full 3inch and 11 psi Id be around the 160 rwkw mark now.

But man is it loud. Anybody got any ideas on what sort of sound proofing i can put in my boot. The compliancers wont give me my spare so its empty and probably making it more noisy! Thinking some kind of foam needs to be light and block noise really well...

Yes not happy about that but they told me those were the rules and yes they gave me a roadworthy to take to QLD Transport without spare...

Oh by the way anybody got any ideas on soundproofing for my boot. I think im getting fair amount of resonance from the exhuast tip through the boot. Thinking of going to clark rubber and getting some foam to put in behind the back seat to dampen the droning.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
