Finally got my Zed back on the road!! Just in time for the show season..... wait a minute.... :confused1:

 

Washed and insured it today

 

 

 

Had Nistune set up on rolling road and getting 409.9 bhp. The Turbo Timer wasn't working properly so he had to back off towards where full boost would be, but said it should be around 450 once I get that sorted.

 

Looks shiny on the pics but got some tree sap and a few swirls from when it was stored at a mates garage, Will do a proper valet and remove the sap and get some coats of wax on ready for the winter (although won't drive it much as its a second car).

 

It's getting closer to needing a respray anyway. Also rear arch starting to rust and bonding where the replica spoiler is fitted is peeling so thats going to be collecting rust soon so need to work out how to sort that if i'm not going for a full respray yet (when I get it resprayed I wanted to replace most trim at the same time if possible, have the usual worn door window strips etc.)

Looks mighty fine to me Adam :thumbup1:

Now, I don't claim to know everything about everything, but I always thought a turbo timer simply allowed the car to idle for a set period of time once the key's been removed from the ignition.

 

What effect does a turbo timer actually have on the turbos or the boost level? I'm genuinely surprised by this!!

Thought that myself, bet he meant boost controller, or maybe not and we are all wrong ha ha

I assume he means the boost controller mate.

Hahaha yep, I meant boost controller!!! May have plumbed it back in wrong when we fitted the engine so will have a look when I'm off work next week.

 

Speaking of turbo timers the car did have one which I removed the other week, so that will be for sale if anyone wants one...
