-
strange, take it on a longer run and see what happens
-
yeah, i saw you we in the broad sort of area around there lol haha, yeah but it can wait lol i need a sign saying 'running in, try again next week' lol
-
was it a steady drive or did you give it some hammer? sounds daft but if the gasket is gone near the turbo it will only be on boost it leaks
-

sniff test isn;t just stickign your hooter in teh cap lol all mikey taking aside, sniff test uses a chemical to test for exhaust gases in the coolant. First thing i would check in the circumstances.
-
was at the sherwood one :)
-
i'll try and get a pic if its still there when im next up
-
core didnt look much better,,,,, lol
-
aye, bit disappointed but needs must, they did give me the option to take a chance and reused the rad but given how ropey it looked and only the cost of the rad so no additional labour or coolant charge bit of a no brainer. can see the top of the rad here, although thats' only the support frame, gives you an idea of how manky it is lol
-
If you change the turbo it will need mapping, unless you can find out who mapped it before it will prob end up being a full map.
-
I didnt swing by in the end, but been some more problems found so delayed it a tad more (only a couple of days) seems to be its had little to no major mechanical work since it was built having nock on effects with parts beibg damaged or ropey, rad is a bit worse for wear so is having a new one. due to pick it up one evening next week now, prob thursday

Near 400 on standard pistons is taking a risk. -
