Right,
Car got whacked by another vehicle today, and will therefore be making a trip to a bodyshop, what I was wondering is, is there something I can disconnect, or do to make it give either very low or even no boost, I know what some people are like, visited a bodyshop recently where a mate works, he started up a customers scoob, and practically bounced it off the limiter stone cold!!!!
Help!!

it could worse i put my car into a friends bodyshop for some work and when i went to pick the car up a week later they had used my £20 worth of fuel that ws in the car and told me my car does 155mph
so make sure the car is nearly on empty when you pop into the garage with it

Connect the outlet tapping of the turbo directly to the actuator with a single pipe, if you pull off the wrong pipe elsewhere you could end up with two bar boost !!!

Bob,
so if I read you right, (which I'm probably not!!) you mean remove the dawes that I have and run a straight pipe from the turbo to the actuator??
I may be daft, but won't that give more boost, or maybe it won't give any due to no bleed??
Yep, you got it, i'm confused!!
Thanks for the help!!

disconect the wastegate from the actuator
you wont get any boost at all (i didnt)
you will probably have to remove the turbo heatshield tho (i havnet refitted mine as im going to swap turbos as soon as funds allow)

if you take a pipe directly from the small outlet on the compresor and feed this to the waste gate actuator you will be feeding boost straight to the actuator. So as soon as it starts to generate enough boost to overcome the inbuilt tension of the actuator it will open the waste gate.
The standard boost control works by bleeding off the boost presure from the actuator, thats why to increase boost you increase the waste gate solonid duty cycle, allowing more boosted air presure to bleed away from the actuator until you hit the desired boost level.
Hopefully that makes sense.

The turbo sits directly under the MC for the clutch, people have reported problems with boiling clutch fluid if the vehicle is used with the heat shield removed. Most notably IanW (one of the mods)
Besides think about the poor IC with all that heat staring straight at it

JF,
thats makes more sense for an idiot like me, many thanks!
The guy from the bodyshop visited earlier, and said they would probably drive it back to their premises, so I said I'll probably deliver it!
Many thanks, just need to find a bit of hose!!

Or "Warning - the tracker system fitted to this car will result in a report to the police in the event of any unauthorised movement"
Personally, I'd also unplug the MAF meter
then it will only run at just over idle speed, just enough to move it around the workshop and no more !
