nothing unusual for the holes to break through a bit.

give the battery a bloody good charge. then ignition on and leave it for a good few minutes and see if the light clears.

Chris at efi is about £280 Not sure about ed, imagine the will be similar?

Bit far from me then. Chuck it to ed, they aren't that far from you.

Where are you by the way?

Yeah, probably the map. Some are awful, some not bad. I had one in that would cough and splitter all day long if you held the revs at the same point. Will see if I've got the before and after graph for it. Don't need to say what one was before, kind of easy to spot...

I'd say so, pin your foot from 1,200rpm in a low gear and will it pull straight through it?

That's your flat spot.

i'd just go standard gasket, could always calculate cr if you wanted to see where you should be.

think it's around that, quick guess i'd say stock gasket would take you to smidge over 9.5:1 so would make it a bit more interesting. when we boosted my lads twiglet we couldn't believe how responsive and revvy it was, think it's around 11.0:1 was more like a bloody strong na than boosted.

If you end up with any you don't use give me a shout if you want to get rid. I'd be tempted to go standard gasket, keep comp up a bit. High comp boosted is fun so gets you part way there.

It 100% is not a fail!!!!!!! Report it to visa and then go back and tell the tester you've reported it, should keep the little t**t on his toes!! Really winds me up when Muppets fail stuff that clearly isn't a fail.

Lucky to find 250 Pistons. Always keeping my eye open for them but still not managed to pick any up. Going down that route nice custom cooler won't do any harm then and they don't work out that expensive. I'm just about to do a cooler and hard pipework for a VX220, cooler is almost double the...

if you're going forged rods then go for new pistons, used 225 pistons are pretty much a waste of time now, seen so many fail. think i threw about 30 into the scrap bin the other week. for the cost of a set of new forged ones it's a no brainer.

didn't know they made beryllium seats? heard a story a while ago about a group of beryllium miners from borkt who vanished and rumour was they were sold as food to a restaurant!! (on the internet so must be true)

i'm not a massive fan of the churbos, good cooler will always help but i'd say to go for a good turbo first as it will work well even with a cheapy cooler. presuming you are chasing more power though sorry?

put the money towards a turbo instead.

yes.

why do people panic over these not working? hardly the end of the world in the scheme of things.

tried iapel? not sure if they do make them but apparently their custom pistons aren't much more than off the shelf stuff.

looks ok. map sensor is checked on live data.

got about 5 seconds in and stopped watching it. why can't they keep still? guessing adhd or something on those lines?

no need for vents and unless the car is designed with them they don't work and can even make things worse. cheap £50 ebay fmic will be fine.

Think it's the k4m 862 you want? Injectors are correct. The turbos have a different hotside and flange mount and the Renault one is a twin scroll. The Garrett will be fine just don't go too big and I'd top mount it rather than behind the head. The tubular manifold they do isn't worth the...

Petrol turbo, all diesel ones seem to be tiny. TD04 14T is megane 225 15T is megane 250 12T is Laguna GT The 14t is probably your best bet. Peanuts used and new core is touch under £150. You'll need to cut the neck and turn it 90deg to clear the inlet. Can't see the plastic inlet being a...

The official way is to hold it by the throttle body plate and tap it gently on a table, if it falls to bits you've got the later improved one.

early one would be fine, later one would explode with anything over atmospheric pressure!!

That would end up looking awful!!!!

Will try and remember to check for you tomorrow when I'm back in.

Oval gives more silencing. Yours will be loud even when it isn't next to a wall.
