Your base idle is a tiny bit high as well you need to see around 33% on the idle control vale bud . Daz D2

There making the same kind of claims now. they recon An extra 15% in tourque and 20% bhp I have said to them i will dyno test one and based on the results decide on which way to go. But there claims are very bold i must say. Seems almost to good to be true .

Hi Guys. I have been asked to become a Vortex exhaust dealer. Has anyone had any dealing with this exhaust system? Any coments.? Regards daz

Is that A turbo changed with the engine in Place ? Well done you finally seen the light :)

Jimmer you clearly have an issue with me ! If so contact me direct . I have over 25 years on these cars.I was here when it all started years back.:) You dont know me.So why do you feel you have a right to slag me off on here? This is the difference with me you see.I inform my customers of issues etc advise them in the correct manor and give the best advise i feel is required at that time. Other wise i would be taking advantage of my position and could always spend thousands and thousands of my customers money on things on there car. which i dont always feel is required at that time and can be delt with if a problem becomes an issue. As damien has said he is happy with my work and what i have done for him. And as i have said on here before sometimes not all the facts are present when a post is made on here.And people can take the wrong view of things. And many comment just to try and big up there own agender Which i dont do. :)

Let's get one thing straight jammer. A car never leaves my workshop with an oh well let's see how it goes approach ! For the record the car was running on all six when it left the workshop. I have been in contact with my customer ever inch of the way with this car which I'm sure he is happy with .

If its an auto you can do the matrix without removing most of the dash.not a nice job though. Best way is full removel of the dash and its not hard that way just takes a bit of time . a weekend if your not a mechanic mate should do it. if you did it yourself. daz d2

You know my work vijay i did your turbos years ago :)

Which part of london ? north or south ? daz

sounds like heater matrix mate. Its not a hard job just takes a while to do it . Is yours auto or man?

A good post . But i am not sure about the whole name and shame side of things. I see many many crazy jobs on z's come through d2 here and i always keep my name and shameing between me and my customer. Or it can end up a bit of a keyboard war between people etc. And somtimes the facts arnt always clear when a car is presented at the garage. And i have seen that tons of times. daz. D2

Damien Remember you are using second hand parts here.And somtimes they need to settle in. As not all parts may have come from the same vehicle. And some niggles may appear. When i spoke to you the other day i did tell you or your mechanic what to look for and that a new adjustment may be required now and how to do it. I am pleased its back with a clutch again now. Regards D d2

Damien Dont stress . It is what we specialise in mate. i l will fix it dont worry. daz D2

You can do them engine in no problems. Done Loads that way. There are loads of post on this subject . check um out Daz d2

Blue smoke is turbo's as well .

Just undo the center nut mate and knock the carrier off the prop body. Check if there are knotchy feeling parts of the hook joints as well while the prop if off. regards daz D2

No welding required. the captive nuts are there. like jefftt i have also done dozens over the years. daz . d2

Ditto check connections. its normally the problem . Injector/coil pack / power trans.

I hope the new set up is Still working well mate. Speaking to a guy in the states who is doing his own set up after seeing yours . So there may be a couple more in the world soon. :) daz

Finally the message is getting across. Well done guys for not throwing this choice in the bin Like it has been before when i have tried to tell everyone it can and is being done. Great stuff Daz. D2 :)

I find the both sides not to bad to do . I don't remove the manifold on either side some modified spanners and if you drop the sub frame and inch just to the end of the threads safely it gives you a better angle on the tricky stud nuts and lock tabs . I did ring you back vodkashots but I had missed you at that point . Daz . D2

Iv been banging on for ages about the benifits of doing the turbos in car. I have done dozens this way and find it not a problem. In car all the way . Daz

Thanks for finding that topless. So the question is . What are the benifits of removing the water pipes etc from the turbo's? I cant see any other than causing future problems. So why remove them ?

I looked at the website as well. Its clear the water cooling is there for a reason. And removing the water will shorten the life of the turbo which ever way you look at it. There are no gains in doing the removel . only negatives as i see it. Daz D2

Send me a pm mate and I can get back to you .
