I was squirting the 'rod bender' into the intake hose as he sat in it cranking it over, luckily he was sat in it, as once it fired, it picked up the old oil from the intercooler and revved
FLAT OUT
Me -
Him -
He put it in 5th gear and dropped the clutch, the back wheels did a bit of a burn out and when it stalled the turbo made a proper CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHA that an old WRC car would have been proud of.
Bearing in mind it was a brand new engine, he was lucky it didn't fuck it!
niiiiccceee lol
i was doing an mot on a passat that had just (moments before!) had a turbo fit and they neither told me nor cleaned out the intercooler, i proceeded to do the smoke test. now bear in mind this was last mot of the day so all windows, doors, cracks and crevices were closed down for the day. i gave it a good old rev as per the manual and sure enough it picked up on the oil in the cooler and revved like a good un, it was in that moment with the sheer amount of unburnt skeg and years of pussyfooting soot build up in the exhaust that i finally realised what it was like to be a human DPF!
