Cheers Jamie - Top man - disconnecting the afm seemed to temp sort the problem.

funny coz I only posted yesterday about disconnecting afm.

Missed what you said tho bout air metering - Will car be safe to drive for a 100mile journey like this?

 

It would seem one of my pipes has blown off (under boost going up a hill I lost all power), this was followed by running like an absolute dog and backfiring like a machine gun, not really going above 3K.

 

After disconnecting the afm it seems smoother upto 2500 now so I can use it to drive down. Would like to find the pipe thats blown off though - checjked the 4 boost pipes, both turbo elbows - thats about as far as I can go without removing bumper for intercooler etc.

 

If I dont hear from ya - car will be with you as planned next wednesday.

 

Ohhhh, and theres a list of things thats now growing bigger........... :)

I do hope you guys have a magic wand.......

Im up to number 16 on things to fix.....

Zedworld is as magic wand as you will need buddy... They will have it running awesome.

Ditto that :)

Will be fine driving with the afm disconnected to get to us, even with a 2.5k rev limit still equates to motorway speeds in top gear, I will be back from Cyprus by then so see you then.

dude, what you doing on the internet when your in sunny Cyprus!!!!

get sunbathing!! - is it warm there? - never sure at this time of year?

he texed me today to say he is off to the trudoss mountains to watch the rally !

sorted the blown pipe (at least thats one of the list)

Yesterday was a nice day so thought Id have another squiz.

Turns out my mate who borrow my DV's hadnt put them backon properly and blown the dv of the pipe.

Stripped all down and refitted both - all seems tickety boo.

 

See you on Wednesday Jamie/Jeff.
