Guest lewk Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Awesome cheers guys sounds like a crack! Suprised I havent seen u gaz... I work down progress road in Eastwood. Always see a mint white one that's also in eastwood... I'll keep my eyes peeled! Once the car is ready to go I'll pm you. Added full exhaust system yesterday and the extra power seems to have blown all the boost pipes off haha... Oops! Time for a front mount intercooler!

Mk4Gaz Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I've just fitted a front mount to mine, not a bad job to do. I live by rochford corner, but use my van for work. My supra lives on the drive, and only gets used maybe once a week. I'm a newbie too, I had a black mr2 turbo before it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Added full exhaust system yesterday and the extra power seems to have blown all the boost pipes off haha... Oops! Time for a front mount intercooler! Its possibly over boosting, have you de catted it ? if so you'll need to fit a restrictor ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 if decated you will probably need to replace the fuel pump and fit a fcd to stop the fuel/boost cut at 1 bar , you will curtainly know when you have hit it cuts all power for a second then gives it back until you hit it again which can be quite violent welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Welcome to the club. Have a search for BPU - basic performance upgrade. It will help you increase the power whilst makings sure you don't break things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
