Hello (specifically for Oil Dripper)
I just thought I'd let you know that I am now back up to (and beyond) full power following a bit of tinkering today. It turns out that my CAF pipe between the air filter and the turbo inlet had collapsed in on its self (even though it didn't look that bad). I've swapped it over for a better length of pipe and ZOOOOM! My turbo is whistling like a pufter in a gay bar again and I can accelerate up that huge hill at 50MpH
I hadn't really noticed the turbo whistle getting any quieter but it certainly must have. I also took the top cover off my injection pump to reveal the boost diaphragm. It looked fine, but I lifted it up slightly, sprayed it all with disc brake cleaner and put it back, rotated 90 degrees further clockways ofcourse I'm mega chuffed! Not only did I solve the power problem with my CAF hose, but I can now listen to my turbo kicking in sooner and shift a bit quicker too thanks to the diaphragm adjustment. I was driving all the way home shouting 'cock' as I do whenever i get excited for some strange reason
Give it a go!
