My car runs rough
sounds more like PTU failure or dirty injector connector,do a search for PTU and you can see how to fix etc,then go from there pull each coil pack out with car running if the revs dont drop on that particular cylinder,then thats the one at fault

More Turbo Advice please :)
if you look at all the figures they all have similar curves anyhow,its what power they make at midrange looking at the 2530s once they come in,they leave the t28 and sport 500s anyway the 18gs just climb and climb all the way :wack:

oil cooler fitting
jack up front and support on axle stands directly at the bottom of the rad,there are 2lines - gearbox and return feed,decide where your fitting oil cooler,do not fit it infront of the radiator seen many people fit them there and defeats the object of cooling :wack: remove hoses from the metal lines and either cut back and plug or remove the hoses completly fit new cooler where you decide to fit it. run new hoses from cooler to metal lines which as said are situated under the rad running through the crossmember!conect and secure tightly with jubilee clips,make sure you run the correct line for feed and return! fill oil cooler with new oil job done,check oil from the dipstick when hot and make sure its at its corect level greg

Turbos.
independant garages such as zen garage,z-tech or the like,IIRC will not supply turbo/s only as this may void the waranty due to fitment issues etc so best bet as lymon says go DIY or exchange your old tubbies from company like turbo tecnics etc etc

What is causing the `surge`
yep as vijay says,check tps readings should be 0.42-0.44v at idle pic shows TPS and the place to take the reading from@idle ajust to the coorect readings above,if its out of spec by turning the TPS via loosening the 2x8mm screw top and bottom

Rear Engine Seal Leak - My Z is ILL
if its a minor leak it will be fine to travel,just keep an eye on levels,most people drive there car with a leaking main seal for thousands of miles and do nothing about it,so aslong as you sort it soonish,it will be fine

my wheel fell off!!!!!
hmm,heard about wheel nuts working loose,are they aftermarket or stock,how much thread is there to attach the nut/s to? check weekly and torque them to approx 85lb,if it happens agaoin it may be the wheel nuts,try a new set perhaps,could of been deadly at high speed :wack:
-
aftermarket gauge help
as i said kev undo all the bolts to the wing,all along the side and one hidden inside the door,peel back carefully so you have room,place cable through gap and feed it up in to engine bay,run end that goes to the gauge,through where the stock speeker wires would go inside the rubber grommet then up under panel under the steer wheel,then up to gauge job done :)

Plugs And Compretion Test
11c is normally for a NA ngk 11b are the slightly cooler ones you want ideal for a TT As for covering up the intake,just remove the fuel pump fuse before you start so you dont get a faceful of fuel :wack: remove all plugs then do comp test left side front to back cyl1 cyl3 cyl5 right side front to back cyl2 cyl4 cyl6

Smithy Vacuum Line kit
not 100% clear but its just a case of see ahose,match it up and replace,not suitable IMO to use it on brake servo clutch booster etc,there are hidden hoses around the driverside rear of engine just remove bits and they will become obvious :cool:
