Default Cars back :) ... no more little problem... (updated)

As a lot of you know i've had my car off the road since Christmas due to a goosed turbo and compression loss.... after stripping the engine down we discovered a piston was fooked...

A few months later, with a new turbo, replacement piston (Thanks again Tim), new piston rings, new pro alloy intercooler, new rad, new silicone hoses etc etc ect... we started the car today


Must say a MASSIVE thanks to Manchester Mike, he put a lot of time in and I wouldn't of been able to do it without him, i've learnt LOADS!!


HOWEVER now the problem.... the car is idling at 2000rpms... not sure exactly what is up... just seeing if anyone has had any similar probs... there is a slight hissing sound when I turn he ignition off... one thing i'm thinking is that the inlet manifold has a leak, hoping its not that as it was a pain in the arse as i've had to use a conversion plate supplied by oddkidd.



Must say its great to have it back and will be even better when this is sorted and MSD get their hands on it
