erm.... injectors all ok?


I have just put an rs turbo in my cab and i went through all this palarva with mine......
















Turned out it just needed new plugs, leads, dizzy, rotor arm and struck her up and she ran..

If it werent for a mate suggesting it then i would be still ragging fuel lines to pieces and god knows....



Have you had injectors out and turned the car over so the injectors spray out?

as said on your thread make sure boost pipes are on.

Also as said above a tow start may be needed. i had a full tank and was jump starting it for ages but nothing. got a mate to tow start me and it fired up.
