Doing the stub is a belting
Hopefully the manifold and base will be worth the work


The big step has been removed

Be interesting to see what effect this has on bhp and torque
Was the car dyno'd before all this work started?

[jojackson4]

About 275 I think it was about 3-4 years ago

Treated the old girl to a new winter coat this year. One of the Halfords breathable ones as recommended by some on here. Fits well, I have to say so see how it stands up to the weather.
A local cat had decided to use the targa panel as its night time roost so footprints over the paintwork and hairs on the roof despite some well aimed boots and shoes....

(screamer is to be shortened slightly after gearbox is back in)

[Discopotatoes]

What's the screamer do?

[jojackson4]

Put the new MAF meter on with the new fuel chip and the wire mod
Big thanks to jools for sorting the new plug out

No idea but gotta be interesting.

[phazed]

In no particular order over the last week or so.

Fitted new engine mounts.
Fitted a 2 mm thick steel plate over the nearside engine mount to increase clearance inbetween chassis and Y piece.
Fitted one new gearbox mount.
Changed engine oil and filter.
Changed diff oil.
Fitted new HT leads and thermal socks.
Changed the front crankshaft oil seal.

Its a term used to describe the wastegate venting to atmosphere rather than being re-routed into the exhaust

Ah a BOV , mine vents to atmos but I can't say it's a screamer more of a wimperer

No not the BOV (I don't run one) its exhaust bypass when the turbo starts producing the required boost. Its quite noisey!
