hi lads ive just bought an rs it had been stood a year the lad i got it off put a new metering unit on it . it woz missing when i got it dizzy timing woz out i drove it up street but doesnt pull like it should its had a new turbo wot can i do my self 2 make her run better ive turned a screw with a spring on it near top ov engine dont no wot its for dont no much about these cars plz help me

 

My advice!? Don't touch it!! Get it to someone who knows what they are doing

 

I agree, it sounds like you may to more harm than good!

A good setup will cost £140 tops!

 

When was the timing belt done last if it was stood up for a year? be carefull mate, welcome to the club though

 

as above get a good set up from a reputable rs tuner try not 2 mess with t yourself as it could end in tears and new engine needed m8

 

thanks lads were do i start with tunning it cars not been modified at all payed 800 for it woz it worth it cars clean

 

depends on how much rust in the areas they usually suffer with like battery tray ,boot,sunroof,sills floor pan front panel behind the bumper just ive it a good look over as for tuning the nearest one reputable tuner to you is motorsport developments in blackpool just wouldn't thrash it too much till its set up oh and you have norris motorsport in Derby

 

theres just a bit near sun roof and probley neads new boot a part from that looks ok theres a place near me called well lane turbos dont no if its any good wots that place near black pool like thanks matin

 

www.motorsport-developments.co.uk never heard anything bad about them mate an www.norrismotorsport.co.uk same as i am sure a few of the lads on here have used them and had good results get in touch with either of them havent heard anything about well lane turbos may be worth asking some of the lads more locally if there any good with mfi rsts

 

Cant go wrong with either, both excellent tuners!

 

would the car be ok 2 drive down there like that m8

 

try not to stay on boost if possible take it easy it should b fine mfis are prone to be running very lean if not set up on a regular basis and thats what scrapped my last bottom end too much boost not enough fuel just take it easy and you should be fine mate it could be running a bit rich in lower rpm but a little bit rich is way safer than too lean

 

thanks alot for this mate when i drove it up steet u could not really feel boost that much dont no if its coz its been stood or lads messed all seting up with changing fuel metre and dizzy timing woz out and dont no if ive set that right when u rev it up u can hear turbo i turn a screw with a spring on it all the way in near siver pipe wot at top ov engine wot turbo goes 2 do u no wot its for thanks

 

plz help me lads

 

plz plz

 

can you get a picture up mate as said above though i wouldn't tamper with it anymore motorsport developments have got an offer for set ups at the moment for set ups less than 120 plus vat trust me mate its well worth getting it sorted now than leaving it to get worse plus with a good set up you will find it will be more responsive hope this helps motorsport developments are a trader on this site speak to them

 

thanks pal

 

no worries mate
