central locking
this is very common, the key will eventually spin round and round and round. getting hold of the part for the drivers side can be a dick. but you can modify a passenger side version to make use of it and replace it. im sure jeff did a little thread on this.

how to test if turbos are working
they should be pushing out the stock boost value, the stock gauge is pretty inaccurate. and you shouldnt have any smoke. if theyre not smoking and your getting the full boost pressure then they are probally alright.

Spark plugs

BOVs?
no benifits unless your standard recircs are failing. there are disadvantages however.... but if you want them go for it. they are on my list. and its best to have 2. one per turbo.

Slight Vibration
ive got a manual front half with a bear that seems ok. i cant guarntee anything as i never used it but i had a twists or attempt on the bearing and it felt firm, and rotated nice and smooth.

setting up a bov?
ive got a little idea in my head that includes using bailey dv26s they might not be the first name that pop in your head for bovs but they have been a long standing favorite in the ford scene for years now. the fantastic thing about them is they are common as muck. prices for a brand new one range from 75 to 90 quid each. so not cheap cheap but far cheaper than hks or equalivent. the base is 25mm and they can be adjusted upto 60psi. looking about you can pick them up singly very cheaply. less than £30 each. my question is this aside from buying a matching pair of dv26s and bunging up the recirc line and fitting them to the correct line, what else would i need to do to fit them. would i need a fitting kit to get it in the tube or is the zed one 25mm anyway? would i need to adjust the settings of the spring load to make them work correctly? if so how do you achcieve this? i know i should be concentrating on fixing the current issues before adding more stuff but i wanna get this idea straight in my head so when i have solve dthe other issue, i can crack on. also it give sme something positive to focus on rather than the doom and gloom of an immenent turbo replacement.
