Bugger Cheers Dylan - I was losing a few bar before this happened - reckon that split was the culprit ?

Thanks Merv for stepping in

Default UPDATE

Right thought i'd do a lil update. Unfortunatly due to work comitments I have strugled to get time on Simons car. But tonight i eventually got a few hours and got it 99% finished.
Just waiting for PIRTEK to make the fuel lines and get them fitted, find and fit somewhere sutable for the Fuel Labs Pressure Regulator. Refit battery and water washer bottle.



And for the attention of Merv,


Best i could think off and get to. Sorry if it dont help and really late

Had to send the turbo back to Turbo Technics, had my suspicions that the seals may be on the way out, smoking when going from on boost to off! Turns out the seals were a bit buggered and also the turbine housing was slightly cracked!! All repaired under warranty tho

That's the only place I could find space to fit it. Turned out to be the beat place as it lines up with a bracket already in the bay, so no drilling. Hopfully will be fitting the fuel lines and oil breather hose tomorrow.

Cant wait to start on my RA now. Simons car has given me loads and loads of ideas. They are all jotted down in an ideas book. Can't wait.

It's been doing it for a while, just been getting progressively worse

As you can see from the vid, it was pretty bad-

The engine is looking good Dylan a real work of art.

I think you are in the wrong career Dylan, you should be working for one of the big motorsports teams.
