  1. I checked the hose mentioned above and no splits or anything anywhere and doesn't seem to be affecting it now when moving it, I pulled out all injectors on the wi system and seems to all be working fine so maybe it is the wastegate being stuck open, I removed the induction and started the car and turbo seems to be spinning correctly but still no boost, whistle or waste gate noise. I might sound abit of a dummy here sorry as I'm still learning with it all but how do I go about checking the waste gate isn't stuck open? I haven't removed it yet so might be something obvious when I do but do I literally just remove it and see if there's any movement? Cheers
  2. Thanks for all your input guys, I just been out looking again now and I can't find and hoses popped off or any leaks anywhere although when I move the blue hose pictured below even just a little bit side to side it affects the running of the car on idle (kind of cuts the revs abit and makes the engine chug)... Not sure how as iv checked this line quite hard since and can't seem to find any splits or anything at all across the line and is connected tight enough.
  3. No worries mate I'm running a HKS Vpro Gold V3.2 ECU, there is no spool at all or any turbo relative noises, it drives like a totally healthy na supra its like its just forgot it has a turbo lol, nah there are no boost pipes or anythin off, admittedly I'm no mechanic but all the turbo setup seems fine to me (apart from the fact it's not working obviously lol) which is why I'm thinking its a failsafe on the aquarist system. The tank of water/meth mix did run out when it happened as the low level light in the dash didn't come on by I have since filled it up and still have nothing, the water/meth mix is being pumped around as I can see it moving in the pipes under the bonnet whilst revving it
  4. Yeah think it might be worth giving him a call tomorrow aswell, he seemed very willing to answer any future questions I had I just don't like bothering people to much after making a purchase lol, he did say there are a lot of fail safes on the system
  5. Ahh I see yeah that's great thanks mate as I'm not sure on how it's wired (the down side to buying a car already set up) il give him a message in the morning and hopefully I can learn abit about it aswell as sorting out the problem cheers
  6. No offence taken at all mate iv only had the car for 3 weeks and never had a car with a water/meth system before so just trying to learn about it, the person I got he car off was very knowledgable and the system had been on the car for quite a while so I would assume it's been set up and mapped properly for it
  7. Ahh awesome thanks mate il give those pins a check in the morning, it's just not boosting at all it sits in vacuum as normal on idle or deceleration and when you put your foot down the boost just goes up to 0 bar and get no wastegate noise and the turbo doesn't kick in at all. I got a HKS EVC 4 manual boost controller and is a t67 single turbo. Cheers
  8. Iv only had the car 3 weeks so still learning about it but it's a DDS3 V8a (what it says on the junction box in the centre) do you know of any places that would know much about these systems so I could take it to be checked out? I got a HKS vpro gold v3.2 ecu and a HKS EVC4 boost controller
  9. I'm having trouble with my supra atm where I am getting no boost at all, I'm thinking that it's most likely a failsafe on the water/meth injection system that's stopping it. Has anyone running the same system had this problem and is there anywhere (preferably Midlands area) that would look into this and give it a service at the same time maybe? I rang aquarist direct but the person I spoke to was not very helpful at all and wouldn't give me any advice or recomend any places as he said "it's a 8 year old system I don't know" Anyone with any advice or any suggestions on places that would know about these systems would be great
  10. If only you were a few weeks earlier mate I had a 5 speed VVTI Twin Turbo for sale at £6500 but its being broken now. Welcome to the club though hope you find what your after
  11. Depending upon what date im very interested
  12. Welcome hope you find a nice Supra
  13. I gotta agree with the 'special' comment over the awesome comment hahahahahahaha
  14. haha liking this quote welcome to the club mate that looks an immaculate silvia
  15. hahaha dont blame you mate always nice to get the upper hand Welcome to the club hope you find the supra that you want very soon
  16. yeah I definitely agree with you in the first post mate, back seat sounds like the option I would take over spending that just for an airbag to be turned off lol
  17. yeah think thats what he's going to have to end up doing now, I cant seem to find any easy way to bypass it from searching online. Thankyou for your help its much appreciated
  18. I agree with the last bit about just using the rear seats but I think he wants to be able to use the front seat just so when its only him and his baby in the car he can keep an eye on him easier. I thought the same so I asked him that but he said that there isnt any switch for it on either end of the dash and that they are just permanently on. I haven't personally looked at the car for anything it was just last night he asked me about it and I said id see if I could find anything out for him.
  19. This is exactly what iv been telling her lol
  20. A friend of mine has got a 04 plate Ford Fiesta and has just had a baby so he was wondering if there is any easy method of turning off the passenger airbag? he contacted ford who told him they can sell him a kit for a few hundred quid for it but he was wondering if there is an easy way to do it through chopping wires or anything simple like that?
  21. I didnt get a sticker off you
