Hi, what have I find today!
1. Removed MBC and connected N75.
My longer pipe of the n75 is on the other side, but I connected still using the guide . in simple terms.
a. Charge pipe goes to the top connector of the metal pipe in the centre of the engine above the breather recirculation hose.
B. wastegate goes to the pipe disappearing down to the exhaust.
C. Turbo inlet goes to the big rubber air connector after filter and maf and before the metal pipe where the charge pipe and breather recirculation are.
So the car has lost a lot of power and aggression, it is quieter on the dump valve, maybe it is just smoother? I will run for a couple of weeks too see how it is, fuel consumption wise, but it just feels like a normal car now. The boost pressure goes to about 13.5 psi.
2. Haldex filter and oil change. I think the £10 spanner was cheaper because it is badly made. I found it only just had enough clearance to undo , but once undone enough to use your fingers I couldnt get the spanner out, and there wasn't enough clearance to keep undoing it. So ground off a few mm from the handle to make it easier to undo / do up. And a little off the top to fully undo the filter / get it out the way.
Had a sudden dash to gsf, after the stopper fell out the back of the haldex, when preparing to put it in. Not much old oil came out, and it was pretty mucky, Bennetts have never heard of "haldex oil" ?
Bought a symphony 2 CD player from an Audi a6, this is a tiny bit wider, Maybe 2 mm and has some trim at the bottom which makes it too tall, also a small connector is the wrong gender, will get a code and test it before I start shaving bits off.
I would be interested to know, whether it is normal to not have a surge of power as I was getting before. Would the boost pressure be the difference? I read an article here where someone was struggling to get a massive 350bhp but that was only 16 psi. So it can't just the mbc, I wonder whether the mbc was compensating for a leak or something?
Have a good weekend.
