Is there a dent in your bonnet from where the dipstick blew out and twatted it? :rofl:

lol actuator pipe split so the car ran rather more PSI than it was set to :D Did a 14 second run on 3 cylinders tho - I was impressed :D Also drove it all the way home afterwards - 185 miles! Thats when the engine was stock internals running PE1420 turbos @ 9psi - watch it in 2nd gear it flies :D Of course actuator pipe splitting means the turbos run whatever PSI they can but with stock injectors that means BOOOM...

Yep :D That run was actually on 3 cylinders :D Knew it was dead but thought **** it! Used £60 worth of fuel and £90 worth of oil on the way back though :rofl:

No thats the amount of girls your been with, sheep on the other hand

Shut it you big girl :rofl:

Did you rite that sig when u woz pissed or wot?

I managed 22psi in a metro turbo when the pipe to the actuator split.

 

I was driving it home from buying it, belonged to an old bloke who never pushed it, so didnt know about the split pipe.

 

I had never driven a turbo car before so didnt know what to expect.

 

It was mental, 2nd gear was just silly! Rapid for about 8 miles on the A38 then headgasket gave up, melted a whole in the block as well!
