Firstsy hello to you all! Secondly i have a problem i fitted a turbo to my series 2 and ive now tried starting it up. It started up but when i give it some gas it doesnt rev and cuts out? Its been parked quite a while and used to work totally fine prior to the turbo going. The boost pipe seems to collapsing and then blowing back up if thats a clue to anyone! A friend told me to get some help from here, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

just taken off boost hose and had some water pour out! Definitely not oil it was quite abit of water. If anyone can shed light on that

If the boost hose is collapsing, you need to replace it as it shouldnt collapse

mercurys2

but why is it collapsing??? It doesnt stay collasped its as if it full of air then not its more like a puming motion

Ive checked all hoses etc. I took the pipe off the throttle body. i noticed the flap which takes in air doesnt open or close its just shut. Is that the way its meant to be? I recall it opening and closing but im not sure

MattyRST

The throttle body should open and close, take the charge carrier off and on the left hand side where the throttle cable attaches to the throttle body if you pull the catch towards you the throttle flap should open

mercurys2

Thanks for your help matty. i pulled the catch and it does open but its very stiff. Is it supposed to open freely?

yes it should open and close freely. Try a bit of wd40 on the joints

I noticed the the cable going to throttle body was abit tangled! Would this of caused the problem im experiencing? I cant find out til tomorrow as my power pack is dead
