cool mate, you decided the non-dbb after seeing my results then? Yours should make more since its the billet wheel, what .ar you using?

 

Yours, Ricky's and a few others I have seen making the numbers I am after. I just can't justify the extra outlay when it spools the way it does and hits the figures I am after.

 

0.81. I'm not going to let it make more though. It'll be getting capped at 700..... for now :innocent:

Na, I'm capping it at 700 to save the engine..... not me lol. Whatever boost makes around that figure is what the max will be. I'm thinking about building a spare engine though :innocent:

I'll be a happy man if I never have to remove a set of stock tubbys again. I don't know how the traders can be bothered with that job, it's a royal PITA. Anyway 3 hours later and the job is done....

Thankfully my hands seem to have survived the carnage. Time to chill with the family :)

Oh just remembered. Before I took the turbos off I did a compression test.....

 

 

1 - 147

2 - 143

3 - 145

4 - 147

5 - 145

6 - 143

 

Quite happy with that. It's amazing how much you fear the worst before doing a test like that. I'll need to try and remember to do the test again once the new head is on :)

Day no.3

 

Only had a couple of hours to work on it today but I got a fair bit done. A couple of the harder jobs anyway.

 

Timing belt, pulley wheel, idlers, water pump, throttle body etc etc all removed.

Got my first injury too. Amazingly it happened on the power steering pulley rather than while removing the turbos lol. How I managed it I'll never know. The funny part was how my wedding ring took the skin off like kebab meat being cut on a skewer :D

Not got a great deal to strip off now. Going MUCH faster and easier than I thought it would. I can't believe how easily the pulley wheel came off :p

Cheers mate :)

No time scale bud, if I have it on the road for the summer I'll be happy. Cheers mate, might just do that. I'll no doubt see it if there are any meets organised, where I'll turn up in the derv :D
