Heat protection
Thanks, but is there anywhere in the uk? I only need a small section covering would some aluminium foil heat resistant tape be up to the job?

Heat protection
Hi Where can I get some material heat shield protection for my gearbox wiring? The cable with the heat shield on has perished and the wires are exposed. Thanks

Now what have i got here........?? Ecu experts please.
The car has a standard exhaust and no boost controller. The only mod was a cone air filter. Cant understand why it would have one unless things had been taken off before it was imported.

Now what have i got here........?? Ecu experts please.
Just took my ecu out to send off for a new chip and found this: It is labeled as 8492. Anyone have any idea what settings it would have etc? Or any other info on it?

Turbo Elbow Removal...
I used sockets on the top 2 bolts.

Turbo Elbow Removal...
passengers side i removed the battery to access the top two bolts, and the top bolts for the driverside accessed from above. The 2 bottom nuts from under the car using a spanner. Worst part for me was i had to remove the driverside downpipe heatshield as it stopped me getting a socket over one of the bolts.

Turbo Elbow Removal...
I sheered 2 of the 3 bolts when removing the cat pipes last year. This year I have removed the actual turbo down pipes, although they were awkward they where no where near as tight as the cat pipe nuts/bolts.

poll to see how many still run standard boost ?
Standard at the moment, but in the process of installing a boost controller, chip, down pipes and decatt pipes. Also removed EGR, AIV, changed pcv valves and o2 sensors.

Boost pipes
Bought the kit to replace as much pipe work as possible. Problem is i cant find any 8mm pipe work for the 8mm silicone hose. Where is it hiding? Also could i use some large boost pipe to run a hose from the turbo/intercooler pipe straight to the idle valve (IAA) cutting out the hard pipe section?
-
Removal of EGR
Just a quick technical question to them in the know. The egr solenoid connects to the air intake/intercooler pipe and also a pipe under the driver’s side throttle body. Do you join theses up with some hose or blank them? I have removed the solenoid itself.

caliper removal
Heres some useful links: http://www.ttzd.com/tech/rotortech.html http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/caliperrebuild/caliperrebuild.html http://www.ttzd.com/tech/linestech.html The last one im not sure the order in which they bleed the brakes is correct. Best having a look at the online manual.

caliper removal
If you are going to remove them for painting you might want to buy the caliper refurb kit. Then you can change the brake fluid and they should be more up to the job.
