Brand new turbo?
Did you clean out the intercooler & pipework?
How bad was the old unit?
I wouldn't touch the injectors. You just have to look at them funny and they break. Just check the 17mm nut is tight on the input pipe
You can, but I don't think it'll be high enough on stands.
On the linkage, don't undo the 13mm nut that you can see. Follow it to the gearbox, and there is a rubber boot. Pull that forwards and to the gearbox side and it'll reveal another 13mm nut. Undo this and you won't have to do any...
That's dead then. I've got a box that works fine when I drove it, but I didn't drive it hard so couldn't say if it crunched up high in the rev range. If you want to send it for a rebuild that's up to you. £75
Must say. I spent most of the day networking with other traders, other sponsors of the race team I sponsor too.
Ultimate high light was a certain failure to lock bonnet pins before heading out on track. That must've been a PR disaster for the company in question.
Yes it will cause damage. See it as each time it pop's, your getting a punch in the face. One of those will break your nose. Just when is the question.
Yeh they're proper fragile. My DCI, started it up and it had a leaky injector seal. Removed the injectors and they were then knackered as it wouldn't start ever again. New set of injectors and it started first time.
Tbh, 9/10 (providing you have checked and you get cranking engine speed and 300bar fuel rail pressure) it's injectors. It seems you only have to fart near them and they break.
IMO, just fit new standard wishbones with PMS top mounts. Or PMS Wishbone spherical bearing sets. I Really dislike powerflex stuff, it's worse than stock, for life expectancy.
