Haha our old mate Ted180 .... times like this I wish I had taken up a mod position on HardTuned when offered .... but then again, policing that bunch of rabble would be a challenge :D

all the cheap and generic and even some of the jap ones fall into this category. but not all stainless mani's are junk. Mine's made from stainless steam pipe with 3mm wall thickness complete with merge collector and its strong as hell.

no doubt the wall thickness is what's saved you so far Simon.

Unfortunately, even with that sort of thickness, it's probably only a matter of time due to the constant stress on the metal during expansion and contraction (much higher rate of growth than cast).

Another reason why exhaust housings on turbos are all cast as opposed to S/S

It doesnt matter how thick it is, or how strong it is, the stainless turbo exhaust manifold is inferior for very basic reasons.

Stainless has a different material phase diagram that makes it more prone to cracking than an equivalent high nickel content iron. When you see OE manufacturers producing turbocharged engines with 304/316 stainless manifolds then you are onto something....until then....

The only Snap On tool I want is one of those cordless impact drills. And well, they're hugely expensive.

Nah, they're shit. We've killed nearly all ours at work, batteries dont like being recharged more than a few times :/

Hilti impact drivers are the way to go :)

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
