No major problems except didnt do the oil feed for turbo tight enuff down the engine side so was leaking oil...not alot but enuff to notice thank God!!!...No exhaust blows...bits that i was told would melt are now braided ..Sounds very deep...just got to set C0 up next to 4% as recommended by Karl....then get screamer pipe made before goin on boost..LOL.

 

 

Good work phil

 

im being thick here but wot the fuck is a screamer pipe

 

Bet Rhys loves his 200bhp beamer now

Its the outlet pipe from the external wastegate.

Sometimes its plumbed back into the exhaust system after the turbo or
just left open to atmosphere under the car and it makes a loud sound
that sounds like screaming.

 

A screamer pipe simply is a small length of exhaust coming off the wastegate (in most cases external wastegate although it can be done with internal gates aswell) usually not plumbed back into the exhaust system but instead vents to air when the wastegate opens!

 

 

does it actually serve a purpose ?

 

yeah it sounds mint

 

Yep !! Its bl**dy loud. The more elderly/sensible person like myself vent it straight to the exhaust cos its too noisy, no diff to performance.
Looking good Phil & at last you are listening to advice .

 

Some people say it helps prevent the wastegate gases interupting the flow of the gases exiting the turbine.

Buggered if I know though I've only got a little CVH turbo.

 

Thats looking quality
Is that an actual swedish inlet or a copy? Dare i ask how much??

 

...its a swedish plenum...GENUINE .....about 380 quid i think retail...i bought second hand for 300

 

Yup i do


Dont want the running cost, constant worries of owning the car anymore. I got other things to be doing/spending the money on atm.


I will be back in a bit though with another saff. Though will be roppy old dog that i just abuse around track until she blows

 

So what all together have you done phil? Give us a run down as theres that many posts ya cant keep up. Should update one post...but as its you we know ya like to be different(awkward fooker )

so what ya done?

 

clever so now when they melt you won't be able to see it

no heatshield yet between exhaust housing and external wastegate
