  1. Cheers Mike Hmmm, sounds like it could be bad. If I pump air in to wastegate pipe from a compressor would it be easy to see the wastgate move. Is it easy, probably not, to het the recircs off ?
  2. Oh sh!te, forgot to resubscribe. Will do it on payday (Monday) Taking it to a specialist is my last resort really, would like to sort is myself, with a little help from my friends (you lot) of course.
  3. It does whistle but not really load like a bitch lol, but thinking about it it has got louder than it used to be it's just got steadly louder and so subtle that I didn't really notice it. I'm stuck on where to look rally now :(
  4. Hmm, wastegate stuck open, now thats worrying. No, no boost controlled just 1.2mm mig welding tips and think they are the right way around but don't think that will effect it will it ? Will check the pipe you mentiond. I bet theres loads of small pipes that need to be looked at, could be any one of them really I suppose.
  5. Where do I need to start looking for leaks and what should I remove to gain access to the piping ? CheerZ
  6. One thing I have just found, oops :slap: . I fitted an apexi filter some time ago and I hadn't tightened the two jubilee clips either side of the AFM up, doh ! They were completely loose. That was probably why I was getting bad dett with 1mm boost jets in as it would have been running lean but I can't see that causing the full boost to come in at 4 odd k rpm would it ?
  7. Checked all the 'easiest to get to' hoses, i.e. the TB and inlet hoses in the engine bay and they seem tight. Recircs arn't honking, just a subtle ppsssst on throttle off and yes I do get a bit of turbo whistle on boost. 2.5k for full boost, in the 2 years I've owned it I'm sure it's never been as low down as that !
  8. AFAIK the cams and tubs are different on auto and manual
  9. Recently I have noticed that full boost has gone further up the rev range than where it used to be, maybe it's my imagination but I don't know. I'm pretty sure full boost was lower than it is now. I now get full boost at around 4+ to 4.5k is this right or is something amiss or about to go on me :confused: Also, now this may also be my imagination, but my stock recirc valves seem to be louder than they used to be. Are these two ralated or am I getting paranoid ? Where in the rev range do you get full boost ? CheerZ Paul
  10. Could be a stone trapped
  11. AFAIK you will only be able to rev to 2.5k rpm with it disconnected. Someone will be along shortly to confirm.
  12. Sh!t, bit late now I suppose, will bare with it for a while
  13. Hello and wecome to the forum, Have you done an ECU check for errors The light on the dash is cats overheating. Sounds like your in saftey boost and are probably over fueling quite a lot

  19. LMAO nice one
  20. Just had this emailed to me PMSL :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: The Perfect Dump Every once in a while everyone experiences the perfect dump. It's rare but a real thing of beauty. You sit down expecting the worse, but what you get is a smooth sliding, fart-less masterpiece that breaks the water with the splash-less grace of an Olympic high-diving champion. You use the toilet tissue to find that it was totally unnecessary. It makes you feel that all is right in the world and that you are in perfect harmony with it. The Beer Dump Nasty! Depends upon the dumper's tolerance and is the result of too many beers - doesn't matter if it was 2 or 22. What you get is a sinister, lengthy, noisy dump accompanied by an odious malevolent fog that could close the bathroom for days. Naked flames are ill advised..... The Chilli Dump (aka The Japanese Flag) Hot when it goes in and napalm when it comes out. It stays with you all day stinging yer ring and generally making your choccie starfish feel like the Shuttle's heat shield. Also makes your ass look like "a Japanese Flag." The Empty Roll Dump Relief - you've finished and reach for the tissue only to find an empty cardboard cylinder staring back at you. Panic overcomes you. You could use the curtains but then someone would ask "where are the curtains?" Use the rug? Nah, too bulky and cumbersome. You then come to the same conclusion that every "empty roll dumper" must face.....pull up yer kecks tighten yer cheeks and shuffle yourself to the nearest loo roll. Failing that you could always use your shirt-tail or one of your socks! The Splash Back Dump This one drops like a depth charge creating a column of cold water that washes your sphincter with a startlingly unpleasant shock. Now you're wet - and embarrassed if the column of water went half way up your back. Tip of the day: blot instead of wiping. The Childbirth Dump This one is just too big to go through the aperture provided by nature for this purpose. You sit there thinking over your dilemma. First it hurts, and then gets no better. You sweat violently and wonder if you'll ever see your loved ones again. You imagine the newspaper headlines screaming "Man dies trying to hatch monster loaf!" There are only three things you can do: 1. Scream 2. Call an Obstetrician 3. Hope to hell you've got some Vaseline to help you get through it. The Machine Gun Dump Best utilized in public conveniences. You sit there in sublime peace when suddenly you emit a group of noisy gassy bursts that break the tranquility like machine gun fire. The guy in the next cubicle hits the floor like a Vietnam veteran, cradling his umbrella like a M16....damn commies. The Sound Effect Dump You feel a noisy one coming on but relatives, friends or work mates are within earshot. So, you must employ some clever techniques to cover the disgusting sounds you are about to emit. Timing is of the essence. At the precise moment of release, try the following: 1. Flush the toilet 2. Drop loose change on the floor, 3. Sing the first two stanzas of your favorite opera. The Cling-On Dump You've finished but there's one damn morsel that refuses to drop. You grip the seat with both hands and wriggle. You twist and pump but the little ******* just hangs there, suspended, clinging like a canned peach between you and the water below. If only you had some scissors....... The Whole Roll Dump No matter how much you wipe, it just isn't enough. You blow the whole roll and have to flush at least a dozen times. The whole episode is consumer waste. Eventually if your toilet paper runs into minimal supply anything will do, towels, wash clothes, carpet, walls, whatever it takes. The Encore Dump Ahhh, you've done, so you wipe, dress, flush, wash hands and are about to leave the auditorium when you feel another dump coming on. You must therefore return for a curtain call. The world record is seven encores..... The Houdini Dump You go, you stand to flush and it has disappeared! Did it creep down the pipe or did you dream the whole thing? Should you flush? Oh yes as you can guarantee that if you don't, it will reappear and smile at the next person who comes in
