Consider a floating valve BOV if you're stock one is gone.

I found the Turbosmart Kompact completely the wrong choice for this engine.

We have an electronic throttle which operates slowly, meaning the bov needs to be super responsive to + and - pressures.

My car shuddered hugely on decel with the Kompact, as many others too.

Springs are too stiff and outlet orifice is too small.

Keep stock one unless you plan to run higher boost.

Just put in a manual boost-t and eliminate the factory solenoid bleed system to get a better response and a couple more psi

Hmm interesting, looks like i'll be leaving the BOV situation for now until I pull the turbo out.

 

Anyways pulled my headlights apart yesterday and gave them a well needed polish and painted the chrome inserts, have to say i'm pretty happy with the outcome!

Looks good, you baked the headlight?

Hey man as far as removing the turbo. Are you chasing more power? If not I would leave it as is. Mine has been making the whine noise for the 3 years I've had it and the 2 years the previous owner had it. It's still going strong with around 130k on the clock. There's guys pushing 200k and still going on factory turbo. If you are after more power, then get it out of there quick smart.

Yep chasing more power :banana:, plus the dyson noise is starting to drive me nuts. Already spoken to hypergear and i'm pretty keen to get it done now its just a matter of finding the time to pull it and send it off.

Didn't Steve tells you about Scotty Customs? Just another option with hi-flow.

Yeah he did mention something about another bloke doing high flows, is there much difference from the hypergear?

I'm not sure as i have never use either services. You can get more information about your Stag on Facebook as well, there are a few of us there, just search M35 Stagea. Most people prefer to answer questions on FB as it's easier for them.

I'm sure i will speak to Scott at Scotty Customs when i get hold of my Stag, need to upgrade the OEM radiator and maybe a few more things when i'm ready.

Our Ceramic ball bearing system Vs traidional bush.

Easy installation working with OEM lines and restrictors Vs sump dropping and restrictor drilling.

326awkws vs 309awkws

    • 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?
