I got that same processor in my laptop , it's not too shabby.

got my renewal through at 530ish with 4 year ncb on my 182 turbo oh and all the comments about jumping from a 1.2 to 182 being silly get a life.lol. The 182s are quick, but they are not exactly dangerously quick.

There will be space for a huge cone filter then!

I had H+Rs and set them up myself, was a huge improvement over standard. Havent heard any bad things about H+R except the odd leaking damper. Heard loads of bad things about GAZ though. They can go for as little as £150 on ebay due to the reputation, I would try them if the price was right.

I am surprised you didnt paint the cam cover!

Will check if it closes on boost. Also read that if the turbo produces boost at idle and air is leaving the BOV instead of being sucked in then it could be normal.

sounds like oil leaking into the engine , but I'm no expert. Would seem silly to risk driving it until you know for sure.

Looking at any website is technically an illegal download.lol.

Been reading a few articles and it looks like the blow off valve should be closed at idle or cruise conditions, but mine is always open at idle.... Can anyone confirm if it should be closed?

Engine rebuild will cost around £1000. I guess another £500 ontop for all the other labour involved. Turbo £1k Mapping £400 Chargecooler or intercooler and plumbing £1k Pistons and rods £900 Manifold £300 Fuel pump regulator, rail and lines £200 Injectors £400 Blow off valve and pipes £300 MAP...

All the original conversion was done by bbpt, paid for by the previous owner.

I cant say anything defamatory. But my turbo is falling apart and my engine has been rebuilt.. Ktec are fixing it for me, go to ktec and spend a little more money.

Not me, been there done that.

Ktec can also help you out plus they wont charge too much!

It all adds up! Next job on my list is stripping the car out for free horsies.

I thought that as i was constantly leaking boost and the turbo wouldnt get upto max boost quickly that I would be slightly down on power lower in the rev range. I was thinking of blanking mine off to see if idling would improve. edit : double posting ftl....

Apparently the housing material on the turbo is crap. It's the second one that ktec have seen damaged like mine.

I've been reading up about the adaptronic ecu, it has absolutely everything bar the kitchen sink! Electronic controlled dump valve is a cool feature!

I changed up at 3000rpm when testing the turbo as I couldnt go out alone.lol. Like fook I did....

Steve, have you had problems with your turbo wastegate leaking? Mine has just been found to be not sealing correctly I think this is why I have been down on power as boost doesnt rise too quickly.

Well if it's not gonna be huge gains I could spend the cash elsewhere. It's just easy to do it when the turbos out. I am thinking now, a remap would be better value for money.

Need a quick decision as it will probably be done tomorrow or next few days. Around £160+VAT for ceramic coating the turbo. I have been told there are no draw backs, but is it worth me doing on the 182?

Cable wont make much difference, might be a little lighter if the cable was dry and not greased up.

If you want to lighten the clutch feel you would need to fit a longer clutch release arm thingy.

I prefer blue ones. Got about 40 of them......

The clutch on the 182/172 is much stiffer than any other car i have driven.

I've been quoted around 400 for the remap and omex or similar will cost me over a grand i guess once its properly mapped. omex will be on my wish list.lol.

bbpt used henk from fast chip. Paul at rstuning has offered to completely redo the map on my car because it's pants. I am wondering about omex though, as I could have a go myself

I dont think I have much more than 220bhp at the moment..... When I went to rstuning we managed 250bhp with 10psi boost, just by tweaking the map.

It's not on 300bhp just yet. No where near that. I am running 12psi at peak, but the mapping on my car is all wrong so power is lacking.
