Chris or anyone who knows turbos [emoji85] think I have a problem! Gt25 with internal wastegate, had a bit if a boot earlier and well a noise happened and now the blow off noise is different and loud? What's happened?
Hi Paul, Was me (Simon) in the BG and Smiffyboy (Adam) in the Arctic.
Was good to meet a few locals although you did come all the way from Blackpool :P
I'm sure it's the block, can't remember it's just the pipes joined together with a bit if tubing and jubilee clips that's the issue. Sure the ktec return fees pipe would have been better [emoji85]
Thanks Chris, I could probably get away with the 4500mm x 5000mm heat shield. but doing it myself just incurs more costs. Also looking at your oil return, seems to be one black pipe from the turbo, mine seems to be a megane oil return pipe split in the middle then joined by some pipe and two...
oooo haha its bought now so just go with it. Just want it to be finished :boring: Shame you don't live closer, would have paid you by now :P

Forge actuator - GT25 one won't hold more than 0.6 bar.
Air conditioning seal and re-gas
Nimbus heat shield
Solid top mounts
MAC...

Haha when it's chattering away I definitely feel like a winner George :)
Thanks LiquidYellDan! I've not kept it up to date so much as it's been a long time. Boosting your liquid yellow can only turn out one way really and that's awesome! if you get it boosted you wont need that VXR that's for...
Yeh nearly there! I'm driving it but just not enough performance for me yet. Added a boost gauge and vibratechnics engine mounts and have solid top mounts to be fitted as well. Cooksports nearly have a fail!
I know, not too much to do now though. Yeh been very long lost a lot of enthusiasm for it along the way, but have had it back for little drives so making me pick up a bit.
