Wasn't the 6-sp a bit of a pre-emptive purchase running at that level? I know you don't have to 'worry' now, but the 5-sp may have lasted anyway....???

But I suppose if you've got the dsiposable dosh.............

 

My wagon already ate 1 5speed, 6speed is more than about power tollerance though , so much nicer to drive The old fella I bought the car off had a lot more money than me lol

Anything over 300ftlbs on a classic 5 speed is finger in the air tbh

 

Sure.

Plus your saloon would had the weakest TY752 anyway....

 

Yup and the wagon still has

 

It turned out to be the turbo is knackered . There is unbelievable amounts of play in the shaft and there's a fair few blades missing . Thanks fellas for your input .

 

Thought so - your observations pointed to it.

Don't buy a Green again! What can the Green make - 400, 500 or what?

 

Sold a pup FTL !

 

He well and truly shafted me stu . I should have listened to the people that said dont use said tuner .

 

oh not only that i still need both passenger side windows replacing after he was grinding next to my car and pitted the glass

I was told about 420/380 on my car ?

 

In that case get a roller-brearing SC42 Billet next!

It'll do the business on a 2.5 - should make somewhere near its rated 420bhp on V-Power only.

 

Only problem with that joz is i'm going to be selling the car and thats a few quid to buy 1 of those . If i was keeping it then yes would be great but the car sits un used most of the time so i'm looking for a cheap replacement as my standard turbo is also damaged so dont want to put that back on. Also could ther be a chance any broken bits of turbo could have got into the engine? How do i check ? Although engine runs and still sounds sweet .

 

You'll only know if the engine's buggered in time. If there's even the tiniest piece then it wiil get shagged in time.

Sorry, I didn't realise you sere selling. Why not just pick up a cheap VF28/29/30 or TD05H 16g off here or eBay, then get remapped? I reckon you'll have to get the remap in order to sell it -- no-one will want to buy a car with an unmapped turbo on (and for good reason)...

 

It was getting mapped anyway as i wasn't happy with the map it had and then turbo blew so i'll get a 20g map it and keep for a while then get rid once i've had some fun from the car after spending that money on it .

 

Is the wisdom on these that they need a substantial oil supply ?

They work fine on an Ev*, but not on a Subaru, but that's just what I've heard.

I know a lad with an FP red on his car ( Ev* ), and that's been fine.

dunx

 

Yeah it's weird. The FP range for the Evos are a popular choice and (presumably) fine.
