Good [emoji5]️ car definitely needs it. Going to try and get a few bits done before Sunday, like heat shield, top mounts and maybe drive shaft if that proves to be the cause of the knocking.
Hmm strange plays the full 30 secs for me. I have no idea mate [emoji85] would that be what the bit if tube with a bolt in the end is for? And I can only assume that the bleed hole would still be open. I can't see things being done as they should. Guess it was the first 183 they had done [emoji15]
Did a short video before mainly get some feedback if you think everything sounds healthy, my throttle body makes a stupid high pitched noise though.
Also you get the idea of my tin foil setup [emoji23]

Soooo much messing around again, managed to swap the actuator for a 12psi one, so should hold 0.8 bar and its still dialling back to 0.5-0.6.
And I think the passenger side drive shaft is buggered to top it off. would a brand new box whine at all?
So pissed off of recent, seems like I can't get anything sorted with the car! Had it in for the oil leak and guess what's still here! Can't be hard surely to sort a decent oil return. And some fecker keyed my car too! And still trying to sort other things [emoji30] anyone want to buy it? Ha
Cheers cupman, haven't tried them yet but will give them a call tomorrow.
Scotty do you have a picture of yours? I was told the have a spring for 0.7 or 1.0bar but not 0.8.
Does anyone know which actuator from the Forge motor sport website is a direct replacement for the GT25 actuator with the bent rod?
Or knows of a place that can source or supply a direct replacement that can hold 0.8 bar of boost?
I've tried ebay, turbo Technics, Owen developments, speaking...
Dan at M.A.D, not sure if he's still on here.

Haha sorry George my head is all over the place, I mean if there's a litre lost would that be 4 litres remaining? is it 5 litres full?
I wish I took it to Andy first if that's what you mean, but not since as I hoped it would all turn out ok. it's a long way to go to get your car checked over...
so would that potentially be there's still a few litres in?
Not at all mate! be 6 months this Sunday :banghead: since first going in for turbo work.
I'm in Bolton which is Manchester area.
ah ok, but why would that come on? because it has so much missing? and when i pulled the dip stick out and it was dry on 3 attempts I did worry.
sorry for all the questions mate, I'm sick to the back teeth of this pissing car or the work that's been done on it. was all good standard :(
Hi Guys
So I picked up my car after it had been in the garage for a few days to have turbo to manifold bolts, studs and gasket changed. whilst also sorting an oil leak from the oil return.
Anyway they said check fluids etc but they had been topped up.
So I checked oil and was showing half...
Booked in with Chris at EFI for mapping :) :) :) :) :)
Just need to find a stronger actuator in the meantime. Have asked Andy but any other suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks again Chris, I have the nordlock washers and some cosworth turbo to manifold nuts, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180620700845?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Now need another gasket and to find some new studs, hoping brabbin and rudd can help me out tomorrow for...
I've emailed him [emoji5]️ the other bits I could get done local at a push. Will see what Chris can do though, need help with the studs if possible mate [emoji85] they keep coming loose, got the right nuts now. But ideally need some tomorrow as I'm carless now.
These look alright? Shake when in...
What places are closest to Manchester? Engine dynamics and clioturbo seem to both be 4+ hours away with EFI only an hour away seems ideal for mapping but how about other odd bits?
