June 5, 201510 yr That's what I thought. Heard all good things about depo and it perfectly fits my needs. "Scoff, Oh is that the one from Taiwan" was what I got when he asked thread size.
June 5, 201510 yr Author Yeah well he obviously doesn't and any business then ! I'm sure 90% of the electronics we use day to day come Form tiwan or China what a knob head
June 5, 201510 yr It was mse who sent me to them. Decided to buy through mse now [emoji4] Stuart is a top bloke there.
June 5, 201510 yr Yeah loads of people hate cheap chinky stuff and rightly so, I'd never take a punt on a cheap turbo or laptop but I bought my depo as a cheap option until I'd saved enough to buy a toucan /syvecs (cheap gauge is better than no gauge) 3yrs ,12k miles ,2 engines and 1.5 bar later it still works ok and I've spent the defi money a few times over . I found advance automotive very helpful when asking tech support questions about the £500+ pistons I'd bought off them but unfortunately most tuning companies haven't got the time to just be helpful and have got the "buy expensive buy once" mindset which doesn't suit me as my pockets ain't that deep
June 6, 201510 yr The dreaded DVLA reminder has arrived Yep got mine yesterday :( I wouldn't mind needs a !Removed! gearbox first. I did strike her up yesterday how I miss that nur spec sound :D
June 6, 201510 yr Just had my hair cut... the barber was still !Removed! from last night.... didn't realise until i sat in the chair... Won't be going there again lol.
June 6, 201510 yr Why oh why do I have silly ideas... That's a scary thing for someone who's not in any way a mechanic... Intercooler about to come out [emoji33] Well she came out with no problems... Replaced a couple of vacuum pipes ... Now the !Removed! hard part... How does it go back Oh and managed to stick a new panel filter in too
June 6, 201510 yr Author Prepare yourself for a bit of wrestling If you've not got silicone hoses. Get the larger collar on then wiggle turbo hose on a bit, I found a breaker bar or long screwdriver between the cooler pipe and throttle body and just ease in on to the turbo outlet helped
June 6, 201510 yr Thanks for the advise... I'm currently struggling with this [emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 6, 201510 yr They are a bit fiddly just make sure the jubilee clip is nice and loose on the turbo outlet to y pipe and that you get the under side on first so you can see it's on properly. Sometimes holding the tmic almost vertical, getting the y pipe on and then twisting it into position works too . You could try loosening the tmic to block bracket bolts but only if you can get to them once the tmic is back on . I'm sure you'll suss it bud don't panic
June 6, 201510 yr Got it, got them all done up tight too found the trick is to undo the y pipe end of the hose as then they all fit together when you pull it onto the throttle housing ... Just need an 8mm socket and an extension bar to nip it all up!! [emoji41] Just need to refit the recirc valve and button up a few bolt and bits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

June 6, 201510 yr Author Drove to shops finally bought the go pro I've been promising myself, had some !Removed! head trying to intice me into racing at half ten in the morning, what a tail !
June 6, 201510 yr Well that was almost fun ... just starting... Panicking halfway thru... The fight to put humpty back together again She's aliiiive [emoji4] Never be afraid to try something new even if you fail perseverance and patience will get you the rest of the way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 6, 201510 yr Author Is it just a case of opening the ecu and solder it in or a reflasj ? Always interested in tuning options from other parts of the world ? What kind of gains are you expecting/hoping for ?[emoji3]
June 6, 201510 yr It had quick connects you clip them onto the wires and then plug the chip into that The Green and White Beast
June 6, 201510 yr Lol look what I found buried under the intercooler... Shame I didn't find the socket I dropped a few weeks back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
