stevos1

look through any receipts you got with it

markfrst2006

i av no receipts jus fought u lot my kno by tellin me to look at certain things in engine bay

rauri

the little brass screw thing sounds like a bleed valve,which i would take off and throw in the bin if i was you

rauri

does it look like this....

turbodaily

why dont you take some photos of the engine bay and post them up,that way we can see the obvious bits? you can easily check to see if its chipped,look under the passengers side dashboard and you will see the ecu,if theres a little cartdidge plugged into it (looks like a megadrive game usually lol) then thatl be a superchip or similar. you can also check the fuel injectors,blue is standard,beige are uprated.

hope this helps

ps.please try to spell correctly and not like a chav it makes it a pain to read

markfrst2006

how do u check injectors?? where do i look??? and yes it does look exactly same as that some1 told me it was a manual boost controller thanks for help guys

cant i jus take it out myself? also itz bin in there for months everyfin is fine

Sean_RS

Seriously mate get the car checked out... if not youll spend alot more building a new engine!

can i just ask whats so bad about having a bleed valve?reason im asking is cos i took my car 2 interpro for chip and full dyno and they told me i needed a bleed valve and put 1 on and took away my amal valve,is this right?they also charged alot of £ too!

markfrst2006

mines has bin checked out and it has bin turned down itz not a bleed valve but a manual boost controller so mines ok they sed if it was turned up then it wud b quicker ie more boost but be too lean and go bang

I've got a manual boost controller on mine! had to turn mine down a touch after my last trip to powers as it needs setting up again and was running a bit lean, guess where it is going again after my new bigger brakes are on....

Nothing wrong with bleed valves as long as you leave them alone. Had one on mine for 50k miles with NO problems

True, they use them in place of the amal valve, when they are set up and left alone theres no problem, its when you get beaten in a race by a clio and you get hot headed and turn it up to run 100 psi = detination then the renault owner drives past laughing

rsturboben

I had a bleed valve on mine, but its pointless as when u turn it up over 10psi the ecu sets into over boost and when u get into higher gears i.e high revs 4th & 5th it keeps shutting down and jerking! so it really isnt no good unless its chipped.

markfrst2006

ye mine does tht in 4th mainly 5th

DUDE_SWEET_FRST

a manual boost control IS a bleed valve mate. tuners just rename it due to the fact that bleed valves have a very bad name.
