  1. Here we have an absolute steal of a bargain today for you Sunday searchers. Removed as my FFIM pipework meant I had to relocate and that meant an aftermarket one. Because I'm a strong forum supporter, I'm doing a £300 discount for you guys £40 delivered. Hope this is the going price? Hopefully, help someone out. I know these can be a pain to find an OEM one. Help me out too if I sell it https://old.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=525620&d=1603038027
  2. Check the manual. See which pin lights up the dash. Check it for voltage. You can also hear the relay turn on and off if you gave no meter meter. In the footwell.
  3. Had a nice dash. Car as a whole was decent. Shame.
  4. Decent price for the turbo kit. What manifold is it. Nice to some stuff fairly priced actually.
  5. Yes mate. Good shout. Not sure how much time the S6 stores.
  6. Haven't changed the pump. Did plan too. Planned a big spend this winter. I'm no turbo expert but I've no idea wtf clips are either. From an assembly point of view I'm curious what they even mean. Unless its a circlip style clip thsts got damaged from the oil passing by. Either way. Its sorted now so I'll just be a bit more sensible until pump replacement. Tempted to just get it running and stop hammering it so hard and enjoy the odd dry day and resolve a new pump next year. Its more for fun than function. But agree its not really worth it. Brake boosting feels the same as rolling anti lag from a performance viewpoint. Its better for launching really I guess.
  7. Yeah I've given them an ask. I may fit one anyway if that's the industry standard. I'll look to make the return bigger, even if its just to allow more room during the bend. I wonder if it's worth adding an oil pressure sensor, I guess with a restrictor fitting it wouldn't be worth it. Is there any risk adding a restrictor not supplying enough oil to the turbo?
  8. 62mm turbo. OCDworks 6251r. AN4 for the line I believe.
  9. That turbo was sold and is still running fine cheeky sod. Splashed out on a decent turbo.
  10. More expensive than im willing to admit. That's for sure. I'm assuming clip along the shaft axis. Going to replace all the bearings anyway. A full refresh. Be good as new anyway so. Smoke wasn't as aggressive as yours mate. Yeah drains fair size. An10 I think. I dont see why there'd be an issue but I'll likely swap it for bigger anyway now.
  11. If you're willing to split the headlights, I'm sure I have some spare kit lying about I could send you which would make them RHD. As mentioned, its basically the casting at the back of the reflector that defines the direction of the light.
  12. Sadly due to some spirited driving (missed a gear) I had some smoke from my engine. Turns out, the turbine clips have been damaged on the turbo due to excessive oil pressure (feedback from OCDworks). So, going to have it repaired and get me back on the road. But I don't want this to happen again. Thoughts on the cause, was it purely a missed gear? I do have a rev limited of 7.2k. Maybe needs lowering? Would this even benefit me? I `might` have had a few pops and bangs (anti lag) beforehand but I didn't see any smoke at that point and the car did idle for a few minutes before. So I doubt this is the cause (but correct me if this seems more likely). They're going to rebuild the turbo and I'm super excited to have it back. I'm just fault finding with you guys as Google brings up tons of causes. A bit like when you have a cold, and Google gives you 50 diseases you may have with your symptoms. Feedback welcome!

    Exeter M5. J30.

    Began with EDZ lol? I'm hoping to bring mine next month. All being well.
  15. Red UK. Private plate. Looked proper clean! Haven't seen one on the toad for ages. Needless to say made my day.
  16. I reckon itll be fine. It only looks high because the NA cam covers are quite a bit lower than the TT ones. The NA manifold goes fair high. Different braces might be an issue but I still don't believe it will be. I'm loving the twin turbo work. Surprised someone hasn't done this sooner.
  17. I think the more interesting correlation is the statistical probability your telephonophobia is age related
  18. The ratio will be equal to the time spent typing vs the value added from your post.
  19. r154 can be a bit clunky. But any worn gearbox can be like that. I've heard reviews saying v160 can be too. So new is bound to be nice so don't go on bad reviews even from clunky owners. Comes down to what money you want to spend.
