Might need a shot or two of laughing gas to spin it up.
Wonder if there's a pair available, will need them for the Doka project....

Few finishing touches on the downpipe today, a pinhole to weld up and the final weld on the mounting bracket.
And as at least something I was waiting for turned up today....the futures bright......
So all back together and back on it's wheels, new exhaust sounded awesome until I fitted the original backbox back on - now sounds exactly like it did before. Never mind I have plans for a new tailpipe that doesn't involve any silencers. Though I could just whack a 45 degree bend and a side exit on as a stop-gap.
So hows it go now with the new big turbo?
Exactly like it did before, max 10 psi then dropping off, need to double check the guage and the new N75 can't turn up soon enough...

£30 is a good deal - well done. what thickness discs do they work with?

Been for a proper drive today.
To be honest I've been worried about driving it too far home in case something lets go in a big way.
Seems a bit flat off idle, before any boost builds, with a complete inlet gasket I'd hoped to see a big improvement everywhere - perhaps the gasket disappeared as it was coming apart and was indeed fine.
However once there's a bit of heat in the motor things improve a little and I'm sure the turbo is loosening up a bit, there's no boost until around 1800rpm but there's 10 psi at around 2200rpm. Yes it's still the max and dying off again but at least it is there.
There's not any noticeable smoke from burning oil so perhaps it's not too bad.
It's not the wheel spinning power I expected but it's not bad and till needs the latest map firing in. Just hope the annoying flashing glow plug light disappears at the same time.

The N75 turned up today, that got fitted but no option to test drive also fitted the new indicators to complement the badged grille and stock headlights - thanks to Activ 8 I present the latest radical new mod for T4s, orange indicators!
