Well, as you know the rebuild didn't go as smoothly as it could have, the forged pistons/rods went in and the engine was rebuilt but it still smoked - 2 turbo rebuilds later it was as bad as ever, so just before Plan B was initiated (don't ask!), TSR tried fitting a new turbo and BINGO, engine runs perfectly - no smoke. Hopefully pick up soon, can't wait. Looks like cracked turbo was cause of most of the problems I was having, but still went for new injectors/plugs/latest remap from Revo + some Forge bits. TSR have 1 other set of forged pistons in stock I think, so someone else can benefit from the experience TSR now have with this engine. Now I just have to sell the Fiat Panda I bought to keep me mobile.
Keep us posted about how the tuning comes along. Glad to see you are finally out the other end of the build and the issues are sorted. ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
I also hope to see you posting some awesome times down the pod in the not too distant future too!

Too bad you had to spend so much cash to have it working again. I just hope you get rid of the problems for ever
He has a green cotton cone filter inside. Seems to have worked well due to him getting a 13.4 1/4 mile. Think he still holds the record on here atm. Although hurdy with water meth and vrsy with a hybrid could mix things up a bit.
Driving round in a Fiat Panda made me feel like an old man, there is nothing like the sound of that twincharged engine firing up to put a smile on my face. As far as I know this is the only car with these pistons so far. TSR made a custom air intake with a return from the oil catch tank in s/steel, another first.
His weighs considerably less than mine and hurdys, so id only expect to match him over the 1/4, maybe ever so slightly outperform him.
BUT, ill need to get R888s to match him otherwise his car with less weight and slick tyres will muller us off the line.
Idf imagine mine and hurdys will finish with a much higher terminal though
