Well after have some thieves try on several occasions to steal my VL turbo a few years ago I can say that the ol 33 is very tightly tucked away.... They would have to be very very keen to try to take it.... But still you don't want to hear about these things soo close too home...

they pushed it 200m down the road

i have an alarm with door, boot bonnet, and glass brakeage sensors, also have an immoboliser, but they got past it some how.

They ripped out the ignition barrel to break the stearing lock so they could push it down the road.

It was insured with the RAC 3rd party fire and theft. They told me i have an escess of $1050 so i told em to get ****ed

the thing i had stolen where

panasonic 4x45 head unit

pioneer 220w 6x9

pioneer 4 channel amp

rockford fosgate 12" sub in sealed box

splitfire 5" monster tachoi w/shift light

plus not to mention how my car was left...

back seat was onm the road, carpet ripped up everywhere.

all panels wires etc ripped out and left hanging everywhere.

what i can get over is they stole the whole rear parcel shelf, they wheren't satisfied with just the speakers im guessing :)

Hi Guys,just came back from SST. We couldnt push the car to redline because the boost was creeping TOO much. So im gonna go back with a profec EBC and theyre gonna port my wastegate hole too. But without even pushing it to redline my car made 274HP,this was at erm 140+km/h i think

-so theres lots more potential left in them steve reckons

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
