Yeh, it could well have been my fault. Kick in the teeth considering how careful I was installing it, I was paranoid about even scratching anything. In any case, I guess it's irrelevant who caused it. It's happened now, better just get on with what I'm gonna do about it. Unfortunately I may be a little bit out of my depth now.

Alright guys, I just need to make it clear to anyone who has read/is reading this thread that I can't and don't blame the workshop for what has happened. I was upset yesterday about the situation with my car, and I've run my mouth off a bit in regards to it being their fault. That really wasn't the right thing to do, as this could all have quite easily been my fault, and I accept that and will just get on with fixing it.

Allstar have been nothing but helpful while I've had my car in there, and in fact continue to be helpful despite my comments on here. I guess a little bit of miscommunication between them and me about what exactly happened with the manifold lead to me jumping to conclusions, and voicing those conclusions on here wasn't the right thing to do. I have since spoken to them and they explained exactly what happened and what they did, and it's quite clear now that I am at fault and I apologize to them for what was said.

dont you hate it when workshops pull you up on what gets said online in public space in the free world...

I just wish I still had the lower section sitting in my garage that I could send over to you...

The lower manifold isn't an issue anymore, Allstar supplied a new one and replaced it. It's whatever has got or is getting into the motor jamming my valves open that is the problem.

oh, well in that case I wish I had another head to give you...

That one I would appreciate :P

Do they have you at knifepoint, should we send the police ...:P

So how did it break? or are you gunna be all suspenseful again..

I think I've got the knife at my own throat :/ lol. No but seriously. I did jump to conclusions.

Still not clear what caused the manifold to break though, probably incorrect tightening as you said. I fcked up with that bolt at the front by not drilling the hole out, so that has probably twisted the manifold.

Just out of curiosity, how do you tell compression is down on one cylinder under load?

Well it loses compression under full load, it doesn't pick back up straight away when it returns to idle or is switched off, which is when my tuner did the comp test. But after being switched off for awhile, it will get full compression back and is good to go again.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
