Phil,
Yes, at the moment . But I guess from Bill's experiences, he's not ever going to try and be one the the last of the late brakers . Mind you, in a "roundabout" way, Bill has me to thank for this conversion .

Congratulations Bill, i hope it brings you immense pleasure pal

As for all the pisstaking of poor old Mike R, it makes me smile reading comments about him consulting a pro that are from people whom i know for a FACT phone myself and other tuners for advice all the bloody time.... roflol

Mike can hold a sensible technical conversation about engines and mapping with me no problem so i guess that puts him straight into the top 5% on this forum no bother at all... Fair play i say. Good job he takes all the pisstaking so well cos it would personally piss me right off

Steve,
Your memory is obviously shot to shit with alcohol abuse , as it was actually:

Me: "Harv, the dump valve's sticking open, can I remove it and run without it?"

Harv: "I wouldn't recommend it, you know how much the turbo cost and I have no idea how much damage it might do".

Me: "Okay, I've got a spare one, I'll swap them over".

Steve,
Well it's a maram shafted turbo, so I thought it "might" take the abuse. And I "may" be right, but like with RS Focus's, I don't want to be the guinea pig and risk fucking up my turbo just in case . Funny how he has no idea about what damage it would do, but YOU do . I take it you have plenty of experience of these turbos ?

You make a good point there Stu, but it's only banter.

Anyone with the anal retentive attention to detail that Mike has is always respected, but also open to a bit of piss taking, especially when you consider his blinkered approach to general dress sense

PON,
Yeah, but compared to your hairstyles, my dress sence is perfectly acceptable .

Steve,
Yes, I KNOW about STANDARD T4s (where it is normally the shafts that snap), but mine is maram 247 material, which is CONSIDERABLY stronger . Had it been a normal T4, I wouldn't have even asked the question . However, no-one seems to have tried it on a maram shafted one (probably not wanting to junk Ł2ks worth of turbo) .

Dingy,
Well I was also told the same, but I wasn't told implicitly that I couldn't . In fact I still wasn't, I was told "I wouldn't, but it's your turbo" .

Cheers Spadgeroo! Not been std for some time though although I guess with your track record of varying spec's & motors, 803's setup is std, lol.
