    M10 or m12 drop link size?

    My links are fine and don't move. It's just that they are causing the role bar to touch the wishbone due to coilovers. Is it the m10 or m12 size that I require? Thanks.

    Boost issue

    This is what I thought. Apart from replacing with new is there any ways of checking it works? I just had a smoke test done and only leak I had is at exhaust down pipe gasket.

    Boost issue

    I have a boost issue. When I pull away in low boost in any gear but mostly first and second I get a hesitant boost up to 0bar and then it drops. Then it re spools normal up to a spike of 1.5 bar boost. Could it be the N75?

    Suspension upgrade on a budget?

    Update... Got round to fitting my coilies the other day and I have to say that for just over 140 they are perfect. I'm sitting about 1.5 fingers between arches and they are not too hard and not too soft. With most of the bounce coming from the tyres. They went in first time and I didn't even...

    Sorry I thought it was the pre cat one. In that case I'll take another look at it lol. Hope it's just a connection that's the problem.

    New turbo help

    I've just been reading up on these bits. So the n249 can have a resistor put in place? Will this work or should I just get an n249? Also it will need to be left hanging as nowhere to put it lol. I will check the wiring on the 02 first and hope it's that. But if I did put a new one on the car...

    New turbo help

    No n249 is unplugged and when I bought the car someone had done the tidy up but not put it back in lol. Silly person : ) I'll check the wiring for the o2 and see what it's like first. I do have a decat though so would this cause the error? Thanks for all your help peeps.

    New turbo help

    Thanks. Just scanned my car. It's pulling an 02 sensor code. Would this have anything to do with a leak in the turbo housing?

    New turbo help

    Also tuffty. I know it's off topic. But see where your washer bottle and coolant bottles are on the drivers side. There is a rectangular black box which the fuel pipes go into with what looks like plastic connectors. I noticed one was higher than he other so I pushed it down flush. And there is...

    New turbo help

    Oh no we didn't. It only took him 30 mins with a long metal bar and no heat lol. Should I check these then? When we stripped it down the second time and re tightened them they had to be toghtened a lot. That seemed to cure the big flappy blow that appeared. But there is still a hissy blow that...

    New turbo help

    So had my turbo gasket changed today. Tightened everything up and it pulls better but..... When my mechanic had a look after with a mirror on a stick. It seems there is a hairline crack just under where the gasket is on the turbo. It seems to be still blowing a bit and it's the only explanation...
