Haha cheers scott only couple of days now till i get to hear this lil baby scream :)mestamp='1316611486' post='6026347']

Ohh la la, look at that.

Now I am confident you will be a happy chappy :)

Lets see you crank some boost through it hey hey hey hey ;)

Just looked under my car and this dump pipe looks like its to suit a high mount manifold the offset from the turbo flange down to the flange that bolts up to your cat looks wrong im bolting it onto the standard headers :domokun:

Can anybody confirm this PLEEEEASE?

Gunna call liverpool exhaust and see what they say tomorrow because they made it

looks like its to suit a standard manifold to me. impossible to tell for sure from pics, but definately not to suit highmount.

The bit that heads up to the turbo does look longer than normal.... I think it might be to suit a high mount.

Not yet! Bottom end is in for machining / balancing at the moment, I should have it back next week. I still need to send the head off for a service. Then it's assembly time!

You get your car running with the gtx mate?

DVS JEZ and Mick_o have been hard at it all day, it is all installed and they are heading out to do the road tune soon.

Hopefully Mick can give us a bit of an update later tonite or tomorrow.

Full credit to Jez for patiently working through the issues that modifying cars can throw at you.

Thanks Andrew, glad u were there to give me a few neat little tricks especially the one on how U remove the side feed injectors from the rail. Loved that one.

Did a tiny bit of road tuning. Was wet and scary, but so far so good. Turbo is nice and responsive and has an awesome sound.

I just got home and left at 6 this morning. So a 16hr day. I couldnt leave micko there without getting it finished, i could tell he had been itching to drive it since he started ordering all the parts.

A big thanks to Jez for his effort today absolutely massive mate im cheering u are a champion :) sorry bout the onions i guess the saying once u go black u cant go back doesnt apply to onions hey? Lol i also want to thank Andy for dropping in and saying hi, checking up on us and giving us some helpful tips and especially for delivering my new cat Haha much appreciated mate.

We peaked 13.5psi tonight very briefly before the wheel spin in the wet.

My car did feel a bit livelier down low than your current setup but obviously hard to say without traction and proper tuning .

Was shocked how much my exhaust note changed from stock turbo and bodgey gutted cat to what i have now sounds awesome!

Cant wait for full tune and E85!

Think its gunna be a tough lil street package :)

Thats a bugger mate but i can tell you that you will be happy with your turbo selection from my first feel of my car today and the sound is good too :)

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
