BIN FTW!

Short Update... Managed to find an exhaust and decat, K-tec supersports recessed system. Just waiting for the decat to arrive then it can go on. New rear bumper can then go on too. I've contacted James @ S&MWM about checking the map out too, so just waiting to hear back from him and we...

Any update mate? What results did you end up with?

Cheers mate! It's taken a lot longer than I had originally planned (I wanted rid of the donor car by now!) I've got 4 cars at the moment and the wife is starting to get a bit fed up haha! I'm torn whether to keep the 3" straight through and just get a new back box made so it gets rid of the...

I was hoping I'd have more to update people with to be honest, but not much has happened! i got punted up the arse by a 17 year old which halted all my plans....see this thread for pics http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?703068-Write-off I've just got he car back with a straight...

I'm not claiming for any injuries, just want the car fixed. Been to two garages today, one reckons it doesn't need to be put on the jig as its not structural and the other quoted around 700 for repairs and sounded more clued up. The first bloke was asking me why it didn't look like his...

He was in his mum's fiesta as well, double fook up!

If its gets written off then its a cat D forever then, the kids mum has offered to pay for it, going to a garage tomorrow with her to see what's what, see what happens then eh!

Anyone think that the boot floor can be pulled out?

Write off you think?

First time I've driven my cup turbo in 3 weeks....some 17 year old bell end does this...

I'm gutted too! On holiday otherwise would have been up for that! Doh!

I will be, boost solenoid and a mapping session will be done over the next month or so hopefully. Unfortunately I inherited that bleed valve thing from the donor car! The bit I'm confused about is that the engine ran spot on in the donor car, albeit with a boost leak, now the engine is in my...

No, just a crappy bleed valve, same as this... If boost was leaking, and now it's not, wont that cause more boost and the same amount of fuel...

Cheers for the input guys, I've installed it in the FPR for now as I'm just troubleshooting my over boost problems. Once that's sorted I'll look for a more perm solution

Again.....no luck with this over boost problem. I've wound the bleed valve to its let boost position, and its made no difference, on the bright side I've installed my boost gauge and that works lol! The car gets to around a bar and shuts off, that's in 4th in lower gears its much earlier, 0.5...

I'm gonna have to pull out lads, car isn't healthy :(

It's a turbo map sensor but in the same place as the original

I'll do my bit mate! Fitting my boost gauge and tweeking a few bits in the morning so hopefully be ok for a "quiet" drive over Saturday evening

Anyone going from Kent way - fancy a convoy?

I'm just about to install mine, so wondered how you done yours! yeah, pics would be good, ta!

Do you know which one by the way? One before or after the cat?

Not much of an update really, but I've wound to boost down one full turn on the bleed valve, it's much better but still get an overboost situation an d the car shuts down. I've just purchased a boost gauge so I'm going to wait for that to arrive and try to lower it some more. According to the...

Drill the plenum!? Is there not another point on the inlet that I can tee from? I'd feel happier doing that than drilling it. From a DIY perspective anyway!

Perfect, cheers guys

I'll be fitting a boost gauge to my cup turbo shortly, there's a vacuum hose that goes runs from pretty much the TB to the fuel pressure reg, can I for the T there to the gauge? Pic shown below, blue vacuum hose

What part of the vacuum hose did you t off to fit this mate?

Cheers for the input lads, a lot of that meant nothing to me haha! I think I'll got down the same route as Laine and the 3 port valve, then take it down for a remap. Can this be fitted and then driven some distance before a remap or needs to be fitted at the same time?

Is this the one guys? I've seen several on eBay, they look like cheap copies compared to this.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gizzmo-IBC-Limited-Edition-Electronic-Boost-Controller-Kit-For-Any-Petrol-Turbo-/221228330848?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33823c6f60
