I know I should probably know this already but no one has actually explained me what "stage 1, stage 2 etc..." actually mean. I know the higher the stage the more work has went into it but can some one explain what work is carried out in each stages?

yip, cleaned with brake cleaner, sanded with wet and dry, everything was good, idled the car for an hour and let the paint harded (per instructions) and then built the revs up slowly to get temp up (again as per instructions)

As above^ have already used this and it flaked off within days... http://www.4wheelplay.co.uk/very-high-temperature-paint-400ml-p-25002411.html any proven products that can take the temp?

Iv been ringing around to sort my turbo out and people want over £200 to replace the oil seals, the parts alone are under £10! so im wondering if its a DIY job? Im guessing it needs balanced?

Fantastic looking car and im not being biased :P Head over to www.MG-ROVER.org, the MAF sensors get knackered and overfuel the engine, theres a better replacement. Also search for ROVER RON, he does deisel tuning for the CDTIs, a synergy from him will make a massive improvement to response...

You would need the exhaust manifold made up to fit the clio, You would need alot of samco hosing and various sizes of aluminium pipe to make connections. You would need an intercooler New ECU to take the inputs from pressure sensors and account for different ignition timings etc.. that...

Well to put a conclusion to the thread my car blew up... ....only joking, when I took the turbo off oil pissed out the turbine and compressor and the LAMBDA sensors were covered in oil. The block to exhaust mani was bone dry so im very confident that its the turbo oil seals. BUT I have...

Oil level is decreasing slightly. One of the sensory pipes does keep disconecting itself, and I also cut on of the pipes that went the air filter when I fitted the K&N as I thought its just a breather, I will get a pic of it in 2 mins. And because I have the K&N I put a small breather filter...

So if i disconect the turbo to intercooler pipe and put my hand over the outlet it should get soaked in oil? I will give that a go tomorrow. Is it possible that JUST the exhaust side seal has went or do they both go at once?

hi ditz I had the filter off on the inlet but havent disconnected the boost pipe, i will do that tomorro. I notice though a little puddle of oil on the inlet side when I took the filter off.

Hi tomtom, what do u mean by the turbo boost pipes? The little sensory pipes fail? could you elaborate please?

I did have a look and it looks coked up but as it only happens when its ran up and revving then it gets burnt off too quick for me to check.

Thanks lads, I checked the turbo for play and theres a TINY amount left, right, up and down but no play any other directions which is normal isnt it as it needs oil to float on?

Need a bit of advice please, My car has been spewing out nice blue smoke for about a week gradually getting worse. I thought HGF, valve stem oil seals or turbo. I did a compression test that showed everything normal. I looked at the plugs, again showing normal. The car doesnt spew out smoke...

yeah agree with Griff, sounds a bit too good to be true. David get a program called Prime95, the "torture" test maxes ur CPU load to see if its stable. Part of the trial and error method im affraid. You cant really "blow up" ur CPU if u dont change the supply voltage, just watch the...
