I have ordered an adjustable actuator a few days ago should be with me thursday - how good it will be I domt know - it used as an upgrade on nissan 200sx/s and alot of scoobys owners recommended - I ran this through ktec and they will have ago - I have put a 1 bar spring with it too so hopefully...

What turbo are you using tho?

Right what there saying is happening is the button valve isn't holding shut and exhaust gas is passing through it. ... I need to get a better actuator with 1 bar spring so it can keep the button valve shut. This is what they have explained ... now I'm really struggling to find where I csn find a...

I have had a sum before the actuator and plugs problem - but like ivr said to then my old plugs may have been fine !! They are using a turbo smart bleed valve - which they explained holds boost too? It's something ill speak to them about possibly getting a mac boost solenoid

5th time lucky..... not -_-.... They changed the spark plugs over and put it for mapping again today - now at 1.2 bar it makes 314 bhp with 330 lbft.... But anything over 0.7 bar the turbo bleed valve boost passes and there is flat spots still.... now they're aiming this towards the actuator...

I'm really looking forward to this! It's stupidly quick at 308 let alone what ur hoping to get! You got a lot of balls chris haha

Hahaha yeah I'm dreading the cost of fuel because of my right foot lol I've double nutted the exhaust manifold so I the 2nd nut tightens the stud an 1st nut tightens to Manifold so will have to make sure I check these once a week or something. I had a weep fromn turbo to but think ktec have...

I rapped the end up with lots of insulation tape but good idea I will do that when it's back - has anyone will turbo builds got any recommendations in terms of common faults and or how they've prevented it ...?

I have told them not to plug it back in - and I'm using iridium spark plugs,they were covered in black from the time I ran 630cc injectors on my base map so that could of made them abit shitty ! And thanks mate ! It's Deffo good power for that boost assuming it's a gt25!

Yes indeed : again more little issues - The car is making power amazingly ! It's making 300bhp and 300 lbft with 0.9 bar which is brilliant !!! But apparently there is a massive at 5000 rpm so they're trying to figure what the issue is : they thinking it's heading towards the plugs as obviously...

1 hour to go to hear about today's dyno .... even more nervous

Ywah ramair did it - they done it very cheap tbf and atleast it's done by a big company like themselves - it's on the dyno again Monday for the 4th time... hope nothing else plays uo else the car is seriously going up for sale if it does I'm so skint it's unreal!

Not yet mate - ktec have sent the boost pipes to ramair to be done and waiting for them to get back to me - hoping it'll be done soon. Financially struggling atm as my 206 diesel daily is playing up and requires work (just my luck) so I hope ktec don't charge to much more ivr spent rediculous...

I would, but the car is with ktec and dorset is about 1 hour 45 mins from me, I dont have time to drive down there atm lol, you guys got a link to the jcs clamps?

they know some guy down the road from them that does ally welding - its cheaper that way then spending for a ktec kit any how!... either that or i leave it at low boost 225bhp .. which i will not be happy with
