The upipe brings the exhaust gases up from the headers to the turbo. So it bolts between the headers and turbo Its the bit with the studs at the top on the left in the above pic

Think I might have found some steel "tuner" wheel nuts on egay along with some new centre caps just hoped sombody had tried n tested some . And yeah £40 does seem a bit steep for a couple of stays but I had seen a post on f.b that showed a link for some for £20 but fooked if I can find em lol

Yeah thats the guide ,don't let gambits outfit put you off [emoji5] don't know if it mentions it but you're better off listening to them start from cold as due to the boxer layout they can suffer from piston slap from cold which goes away when warm . I have heard some good feedback from hurst cars but no personal experience , best of luck and keep us updated fella

+ 1 for import car parts for the cam belt kit and if you're uncertain about the history get the full kit (pulleys, tensioner and water pump ) The area your describing the smoke coming from would suggest a oil leak dripping onto the headers, probably from the rocker cover gasket/half moons (at the back end of the cams) as these get brittle due to the heat from the up pipe . if not check the turbo oil drain pipe as this can sometimes split or block

Hi n welcome good luck with the hunt . There's a buying guide on here which outlines the common problems to look out for [emoji6]

Thinking about getting some cheap black wheel nuts to tidy up my rims once they've been refurbished any body recommend some ? Also my bonnet stay is rubbing on my polished ally fmic pipework[emoji57] so would like to buy some strutts (bonnet lifters) to do away with the stay . Scoobs a v1 sti and ebay Links would be great if anyone has bought some cheap but functional bits lately . Cheers clive

Black and green connectors are for a ecu self code read (to check for faults) have a search on here there's a "how 2" somwhere with a list of codes

just Chucked a sponge at the scoob and about to hide in the shed and polish some more ally bits before the mrs finds me something to do around the house [emoji6]

Lol

Fix Or Repair Daily (Ford) the only good looking fast cars they make are the rs and muscle cars across the pond anyways imo And I'm sure that golf would be a hellva lot faster than most scoobs on here [emoji87] and he built it himself so surely some credits due Each to their own and all that malarky with taste and modding [emoji6]

sorry but I love the retro german stuff especially my mates golfs . Here's his mk2 syncro 4wd with a audi 1800 turbo lump running 400+hp [emoji7] [emoji41]

Did you put a smear of fresh oil on the filter o ring stants ? As doing that and filling the oil filter before fitting is the normal way I do a filter change [emoji6]

Unsure how to get a replacement set tbh but I've got a full set of locks and keys on a v3 uk turbo I'm breaking . I'm in Suffolk and your welcome to have them if come and remove them .

+1 for undoing the top square filler bung first as the last thing you need is to drop the oil out of the bottom bung and find the filler bung is seized[emoji6]

It's a 5zigen jasma (jdm race spec) catback ,extremely light and pretty rare cos I've never seen another gc8 one for sale . It's got a resonator box , fully slip jointed and very well made . I love the look and quality of it but with the rim refurb , geo set up eating into the "bigger turbo fund" I just can't afford something more subtle sounding of the same quality atm

My brvs old system was a 3" decat turbo back and sounded fine but mine sounds just plain dirty at full chat

There's a lot of wind noise and attowe's dyno cell is a sealed room but It's !Removed! brutal over 3 k [emoji19] It wasn't too bad before I fitted the cusco downpipe . The mrs likes it and it stops me doing over 3 k unless I'm on a slip lane [emoji6]

Cheers stants [emoji106] it was the privacy settings [emoji6]

Poxy phone lol I might just whats app you a link stants so you can sort it ;-)

Cheers chaps it sort of works now but don't put head phones in cos she's loud lol

Yeah Duncan did it on the road and I had it dyno'd 6 months afterwards

Never uploaded a vid before but thought I'd chuck up a vid of my dirty sounding scoob on utube but can't seem to get the link to work properly https://youtu.be/Lq1nLEtetok

Nice gains from a zorst there bud [emoji106] Nice n quiet on the dyno as well, mine made my ears bleed [emoji19] My old 97 uk made 265 hp with sports cat , sti tmic and k&n pannel with resonator delete , so you should see something like that I'd imagine .

I'll sort a quote for posting over the weekend josh and could you pm me your postcode again bud

Rota grids are a lovely looking rim imo but I do personally I prefer a chunky spoke rather than "busy looking" thinner multi spoke designs Brocky has just changed his rims on his blue blob there's some pics on his build thread
