Default New turbo

Welcome to turbo-dom.
Just to let you know...
...when you start the ignition and that rumble sound fills the air. That's when you start to grin inanely right?
That doesn't fade after time !
Nice car, enjoy!!

You know I wouldn't have believed this much power was actually possible.

Bought the car from eBay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...DME:L:RTQ:UK:1

No engine mods which is great

£6500, which looking at the one for sale here is A ****ing top price for such a mint example.

Seriously Seriously quick, how in the hell do you get a good lift and does the turbo alway make that noise??

Also maybe it was the area but I'm sure I semlt burning..

Oh and how long to cool down before turning off?

What turbo noise?

Could be your brakes making the buring smell, mine smoke sometimes after a good blast through the twisty's!

I normally let mine idle for as long as possible after 'sprited' driving, at least a minute. Gets a bit annoying sat in the car waiting but worth the effort if it saves the turbo.

Wasnt in Birmingham by any chance, as I smelt burning on the M6 this morning, a Tyre factory went up in smoke yesterday early morning, and there still putting it out now, smells awful, thought something was wrong with my car, until I could see the blasck smoke far away.

Good luck with your car, and you was worried about insurance not long ago, now you,ve got it, enjoy.

this will help the dial up users !!
