  1. Well thanks for all your help,had the day off and decided to take a look arround see if i could find the leak,well drivers side back of the engine on the very left small boost pipe split there (boost guage me thinks) right hand side at the back another pipe split and replaced then removed the battery and checked the 2 clips on the pipe coming off the turbo ,bottom 1 was loose as F*** and the turbos are new AHHHHHHH,sorted that and cleaned the MAF sensor conections.Took the car out drove smooth and boosted to standard levels:),in to zed world end of the month for tweeking,happy again:)
  2. yes the car runs on all 6 ,new plugs etc put on ,ecu check came up clear.yes the guage is stock and yeah i no its buggerd but even though the guage is bust that wont affect boost ,will it!?.we have put an after market guage on it and its like 1-2 psi i cant understand if the boost is there where am i loosing it !
  3. yep there new turbos there both fine ,the dump valves both work fine ,hesitates b4 boost and ticks over really bad.
  4. nah dude topless ,gona give him the exausts as i was going to scrap them,he may be able to use them in some way
  5. Hia back after being away for a bit ,pmd the ppl that messaged me and mark sent you a few mails as your inbox is full ,your'l no who you are:)Re exhausts. After all the problems i have been having with the turbos the car is finally sorted after 6 months:(there is however another little niggle no boost lol well i say none its nore like 1 psi ,there is no hissing from the engine at all just when it goes to boost there is very very little ,i no there is a way to test for this so can someone point me to the right thread,i cant find it,cheers
  6. its only on accelerating ,tickover is fine,and no errors came up when we checked at zworld ,i duno been fine for like a week since i had it back and now this ,could be connectors il try them ,thanks
  7. Problem number 43679344356620 car now runs but its as if its only on 5 cylinders soon as the turbos come in it runs fine.this is intermitant 1 min its ok the next its missing ,i have changed the ptu and to be honest it does seem better anything else i can check?
  8. saturday fitted m8,they wasnt built buy that company m8 ,i dont want to say who built them yet as this isnt resolved .i think all i can do is take it and hope ,i do have another barganing tool i can use so il keep that up my sleave
  9. trapped oil lines ,but that wont cause smoke to piss out!
  10. thing is how can i get an independant to have a look?lol i did think the same but i havent got a choice i mean how can it really be the fitters fault?he has worked on cars for like 25 years and do no his sh!t,and mark shhhhhhhhhh on ts dude
  11. have been on the phone to him ,he has agreed to have the car in 2 weeks and remove the turbo and sort the problem ,he said if the turbo is at fault it will be free if the turbo isnt at fault and its because of the way its fitted, i have to pay,however i cannot see how this would be the case.this is quite reasonable i think of him.
  12. Went to zedworld today to get the car checked and a correct comp test,well hit 170 on cylinders,which is good.Trouble is after spending £1200 on turbos £500 for the work to be done £340 on misc bits to be fitted £540 on the unit ,turns out the drivers side turbo is whats causing all the smoke.Spoke to the guy who built them and he said send it back and il sort it,well trouble is i cant spend more cash to get this sorted so i really dont no what to do,maybe sell as it is or break just dont no now.
  13. after all thats happened to top it off i started doing a comp test 1st cylinder reads 125 so im p!ssed ,i go to take the gauge out and do you think i can remove it nope,its hand tight thats all cant get anything down there to remove it so i've had it the car can stay in pieces on my drive had enough:(
  14. Had the exhaust done ,and the day after smoke and lots of it,didnt smoke at all before ,now i changed the turbos the one side is perfect and the other is only blowing on tick over.
  15. Had new pcv valves,and before turbos were changed both sides were smoking.havent done a compression test with the engine in will get that done prolly tuesday at zedworld.The car wasnt smoking at all until i took the cats off
  16. yep only tick over
  17. The person who fitted them and the person who supplied them are different.
  18. ok lets say you have new turbos fitted and lets say the drivers side is bellowing smoke out on tick over like it was when the old turbos were on ,what would you do?i have had about enough of this car.
  19. I thought it was ok ,not as good as previous but entertaining ,however best part of the film is the last 2 mins :)
  20. I fitted a system like this at work in the stores,this was some time ago,the programs you can get off the net for free and are quite good,however you can use a web cam just has to be a bloody good one for getting a quality pic at night.i tried a few before finally getting it working properly.Oh and the programs activated the motion sensors.
