hi all, ive finally finished the head rebuild and turbo recon,runs sound but when i drive it hard and stop vehicle im getting smoke from around the exhaust manifold or rear turbo area (cant pin point it) all i can say is its around rear turbo towards the bulk head . seams like oil burning, ive replaced rocker gaskets too to eliminate that. any ideas please?

Hi all I've just rebuilt head and both turbos but need help with patern to all the vacuum pipes for both inlet manifold and turbo manifold , is there any online pics of the route for these pipes. Thanks in advance

hi all im in the process of changing the dreaded valve stems and wondered if its worth or even possible for me to change the seals and bearings within the turbos while there off the car.there is no play in the blades but 1 turbo does seem like oil is slipping past the seal . ive had quotes of £400 per turbo but can buy these kits for £50 per turbo off ebay item number 321818214698. can someone confirm that these can be fitted by any workshop or do they have to be sent to a turbo place ?

Hi all, has anyone got the part number for uk turbo units ? Need recon but can't locate the part number

thanks for advice people, if i purchased this kit would i need a downpipe to fit my after market exhaust ( 3") and has 3 stud as it appears to be different fitment ,

hi all , sorry to post this but need advice and direction for my winter project this being my old 1990 mk3 with a 2jzgte twin turbo . ive decided to go single turbo and aim for around 600bhp, it has all the bpu mods and many more extras fitted and currently pushes around 400bhp. i need advice on whats the best turbo kit to fit ( thats straight forward to fit ) for the pound , ive seen a cx racing t76 kit on ebay but read many a tread within the net saying its not that strong and will suffer with lag ? ive also considered buying the nessesary items sepratley but is there a full list of items that i would require anywhere ? any help would be very gratefull and i know its unusual for a mk3 owner to post on here but i was a mk4 owner some time ago and parted company with her as money was short at the time thanks in advance

hi pips, ive got a strange one for you all lol, when i start driving me car farts and cougths until she gets realy warm ,its frustrating as i cant open her up for about ten minutes or so ,ive also noticed that i get a certain sound comming out the exhaust while im waiting for it warm up like a mild poping when slowing down through the gears ,i know it makes this sound but while cold its ten times louder. as i say its not undriveable but when i pull away even after a couple of miles she coughs and farts and i have to change gear to get it to smooth out . its fully bpu ,and when warm its fine im thinking over chokeing .is that possible and is there an ajustment on the choke .
