Quick intercooler piping question...

[kineticz]

Riiiiiight feeling kinda stupid now.

I've found the issue, where the boost gauge hose T's into the FPR line, it was leaking air Thought my vacuum was reading 0.7 instead of 1 - DOH

The car is now restored to post-turbo fitment performance. I have now idea what the FPR does but it obviously has a link with the turbo! I'll change the squashed pipe anyway as I've already bought it

Good news, tightened everything up piped into the dump valve PROPERLY this time, swapped my Turbosmart DV for a Forge Split-r set to recirc, and I'm getting top throttle response and boost holds at a very healthy... 0.7 bar And I still haven't swapped over the squashed IC pipe for new pipe yet

Leaving it all as it is now No fiddling.

Getting a really great sound of air being dumped back down the intake btw, alot louder than when I had a 007p fitted.

Very happy mate... been worrying me for a bit as I've been at uni not able to do much... all the tools at home...

Just can't wait to get the buckets fitted and treating it to a set of Yokohama parada spec 2's My Nankangs were ok at first but now they suck.

Any news on getting it mapped mate?

 

[kineticz]

Yep around the same time, waiting for some money to come through then it shall be done.

Dan, you may want to try these instead of yokos: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b0s134p12423

VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA

They are cheaper the yokos, just as good in the dry and absolutely unbelievable in the wet!! I did 11 wet laps round the ring with these and they were simply brilliant..they last fairly well too!

 

[kineticz]

Wow they look pretty awesome too! One thing I've heard about the Yoko's is they're not so good in the wet. Are these Vredesteins 10 times better then?

I've not seen a tyre review that good before! 89% dry 84% wet
