hi just wandering how high in psi a td5 would boost if actuator as short as possible, I can only get 22psi so I am wondering if my turbo is a bit tired? it does have a fair bit of play in it

I have warped my manifold since having the stage 2 remap, the main difference I noticed between 2 and 1 is that 2 gives me more power at high revs where as the stage one used to fade out at high revs, bit more smoke and much more fuel used. if u have manifold re surfaced it should not warp again...

some pics. ok so... first pic shows inlet side with egr blank then original pipe cut down to fit 2.5" pipe then into 90 degree elbow reducer. second pic is the metal pipe on turbo side showing the cut down just before the actuator pipe comes out and then the original pipe refitted but turned...

hi, I would say it took me 2 hours in total to do it, that includes a lot of head scratching and trying to work out how best to do it, I will go and take some photos in a minute. the whole point of my tuning has been to try and do everything as cheap as possible and hopefully get the same...

yeah it did that before anyway, will get the boost box soon but for now I will just carry on knocking key off and on lol does anyone know if the ebay boxes work properly?

well I have finnaly fitted my £90 universal intercooler of ebay and all I needed was 2 3" 90 degree reducer bends that cost £12 each, one reduces to 51mm and the other to 63mm. I have used existing pipework as joiners, cutting 3" off the metal tube after the turbo to then join into the reducers...

its the stage 2 part that makes fuel worse, the £300 stage one I had was better on fuel but this one gives me more power

I have stage 2 remap and I get about 20mpg if im lucky, could not drive it standard as the power is terrible! I only paid £40 off ebay for my remapp

hi, any idea why this morning the clutch from my air conditioning compressor decided it wants to be part of the fan instead!!? I have not had a chance to take it apart yet but looks like it could be fixed with a new bolt in the center, any one know what size bolt I will need and is it possible...

turn the radio up? close the window? that's what I do with rattles lol mine has a rattle similar to what you are saying and I cant work out what it is, had it over a year now

oh and forgot to say the tyres on the trailer can make a big difference also the suspension on the trailer, caravans tend to be very soft. I have only towed one caravan and I was happily doing 70mph until I looked in the mirror and realised it was taking up 2 lanes lol still couldn't feel it in...

should not get swaying with disco 2, I have towed 4.5 ton trailer of soil at 55mph with mine and was solid but I have range rover sport wheels 20" so no movement in tyres, however the defender 110 I tow with struggles to do 50 mph with 3.4 ton trailer and we have to run 50psi all round (I only...

hello and welcome, looks good. you will find plenty of help on here, I have so far!

I have not had any other issues with interference and its only ever refused to start twice, sometimes it has a long delay when key is turned to start before it actually starts and the first time it would not start I held key for about15 seconds before it just suddenly started

thanks I will do the copper washers first, the oil drain runs from the bottom of the turbo straight back to the sump doesn't it? could I blow it through just to be sure its clear?

I was parked in my town center this time so could be that but last time was outside my house at 5 in the morning, nothing around to interfere. was wondering if it could be crank sensor or a sensor as after I sort of bump started it (turned the engine half a turn or so) it started fine.

any ideas?? I have just changed my warped manifold, weak water pump and thermostat and now its leaking oil from banjo on top of the turbo. is this just a case of putting new brass washers on or is there a common fault here? also there is a lot of dried pink staining (pink coolant) around the...

yeah that would make sense, I have not really looked at it properly its a manual. even so would it not be better getting full air flow to it?

I have got a universal intercooler that I am planning to fit soon, however I don't see how where it is fitted is the best place for it to cool air efficiently when its sandwiched between two other hot components, surely it would be better at the front? would this in turn decrease cooling in the...
