Doesn't the acvr only work with the power fc ? If so methinks somone whipped out the ecu and repalced it with one from a breakers, hence the gc8 written in pink on the cover ? Just a thought

Yeah actuator pressure is around .5 bar, could the wast gate be sticking and working intermittently? It will go into limp mode too if somethings wrong but will only rev to 2.5k. Just post up anything you have issues with & wiring vac lines etc that don't look right, easiest. Don't suppose you've plugged the green and black connectors in beneath the steering wheel to see if you get any historic faults come up ?

Should be able to get them from most motor factors for a couple of quid

Hi mate welcome &sorry to hear about your troubles, easiest thing would be to get it on a dyno, that will give the best indication of what's happening or not as the case may be, If ecu is upgraded it's either a standalone apexi or has an els board or one has been put in from a later model, how many plugs does it have ? The boost issue could be anything from a split hose to more serious problems, best off taking loads of pics and posting it all up, we're all friendly here and will try to help out as much as we can

Yes you'll be fine to bung some vpower straight in, may be worth doing an ecu reset aftwr you've filled up as it will re learn for higher octane, as for oil depends if the car has many mods, check opie oils for recommendations. Most of us use millers oils

Worn engine/gearbox mounts can contribute to this

We just went to the timing hut last year and paid the 25 notes to go on strip

You on you tube ? You'll need to go to the padlock and make it viewable to the general public or for anyone with the link and just paste it in

https://youtu.be/gFewVlBfNtI This is mine sounds worse than it is but gives you an idea

Good news I'll post up a link to mine on start up

Every 5k for classics is generally the rule,

Mine slaps like crazy when cold and will disappear after a couple of miles, they are quite noisy engines as a rule, have a look for subaru rod knock on you tube for a reference to big end failure, If you let her warm up and open the bonnet rev to 3k and if it sounds like a bag of spanners then it's probably not good [emoji22]

Good man, have you told him he has to follow at least half a mile behind ? (Assuming he's in the '5 & If he can keep up ) [emoji12] He can park on our stand I guess ? Yes we do have a stand and the show is only Sunday it's an open rwyb sat with the option to camp,

No minimum post required, does it sound worse when cold ? The tapping could be the injectors you can here the do make a loud clicking sound

Many of us are over 100k with the standard box and people put up to 350 though a 5 speed. I can't see it being totally empty as it would have got hot plus it contains the front diff

Notice you have a v1/2 with the slanty cooler, I have a v3/4 cooler sat in my man cave fairly easy uprate/mod if your interested [emoji51]

I reckon lambda sensor is next to check

There's a what to look for/ buying guide in the fan's section I'll post a link if I can dig it out

Hi & welcome

Hi mate, good news about the job, if it's a UK car it will more than likely have a tf03 turbo on, imports have a larger td04 on Pic for comparison It's a mitsibushi unit so there should be plenty of them around, I believe volvo used them for a while on certian models, They are oil and water fed so would be easier to find one that has the same kind of set up saves blanking bits off, In theory pretty much anything will bolt up with some modifications to the hot or cold sides. A td04 or 05 would give you loads more oomph but to get the best out of it it would need mapping in

I'd be interested in something with maybe the six stars on the left breast then maybe the soc logo on the back top right of shoulder, 'north face style' Just a thought

Hi mate welcome [emoji51]

Factor in another 150 for paint and 50-100 for a scoop so might be worth looking for one out of a breakers

I'll send you a pm mate
