New income tax?
Recently on the news they have been talking about this new scheme whereby people of my age will be offered the chance to pay 4% of my salary into a pension scheme. This will start with companies like tesco etc, then be rolled out. This is apprantly because where people are living ,onger the money pot for state pensions is becoming too small. This sparks some questions. Bearing in mind about a back they incresed my tax allowence because Im on a limited income. Firstly will I still be expected to pay the tax ive paid in for years to pay m yh state pension if im paying this new tax? Will I also still recieve that pension one day? If I opt not to pay this 4% will I be opting out of getting a pension full stop? The press seem to praise this idea but I can see from here this is simply another income tax that will cost me £50 a month, because they cant organise the finances properly. Last year they realised we should pay less tax so I goy about a tenner back this year they want 50 per pay cheque. Anyone care to explain maybe ive misunderstood? Just feels like another kick in the teeth for generation x.

ive stripped down one of the tubs already btw lol
-
New turbos
a little valve that controls the pressure within the crankcase if they fail they can jam closed causing back pressure on the tub seal that forces oil out because it cannot pass into the sump properly. if failing open it can pull oil in from the rocker cover which burns. its worth going through the intake tract to check for oil and changing the pcvs will cost you about£70 to change them. my cars currently got its engine out with the tubs being replaced. hence why its not been around recently, and oh weve moved lol to bournemouth. gimme a shout if you need a hand as you can imagine though im pretty short on time atm due to my own project.

Voddys pod drag times
well thats the thing mate we can all sit here banging on about how quick our zed is and even chuck out dyno figures but until the car is out on track or on the strip its all just numbers. because you the driver control how that power is used. japfest this yery i was very impressed to see how quick essebees car was only to realise after chatting with him it was virtually stock, good driver. :)

water bypass
i know its been done to detah but after looking for it jeffs picture doesnt seem to work anymore.... anyways logically looking at it i can quite happily see that there are two take offs from the water hose to the heater matrix. each of these take offs go to the turbo water feeds. now obviously you simply loop these up and delete the section that previously went under the plenum. and link up the return circuit.. yeah im a little confused pictures worth a thousand words as they say guys so please share your pics.
