Default New turbo

Welcome to turbo-dom.
Just to let you know...

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.
