  1. Ah good ol engines make you work hard to get em working right the sods Cold start I aint even got mine plugged in so I'm no help there
  2. Damn good looking cars Love the Mk3's together And runners up again must be cos the club is awesome, congrats guys
  3. Nice liking those wheels and the colour scheme
  4. Nice I like to see a Mk3 Getting some love even if it's gonna be in pink Nice wheels and disc's
  5. Losing it a little bit I just don't know why its not going the car has power it's not slow but it could still be faster if the turbo did it's job properly I will get it off again and strip it right down and check the whole thing out so need to get some gaskets and have a poke about see if anything is broken or worn out, Car is definitely wearing me out but must go on with it can't give up
  6. Welcome along to the club, Enjoy Very nice and tidy, The interior looks in brilliant condition, And all for a very good price
  7. I give up Still no boost just sits on 0 on vacuum gauge never gets into the boost just about had enough of it now
  8. Awesome I just been messing with it to be honest wound it all the way in see how much the alignment is out by
  9. Right took it all off easier that way and my actuator bracket is bent I think as the rod doesn't line up well with the wastegate arm Will try and heat it up and bend it back into a better position.
  10. Sweet I always see these in red, now I know they come in black I think I might get one
  11. Preload I assume how much pressure is holding the flap closed ? And half a hole I would think is how far the pin for wastegate is past the hole for it on the actuator so its got a bit of force holding it closed ? I'm new to turbos lol :D What way does the flap need to be if I'm under the car looking up at it to the left or to the right as I forgot which way is closed and which is open
  12. Cheer's guys and lol at seat good idea beats scrubbing the sod
  13. What brace did you get hold of cos I was looking into fitting one on my cab just for that extra stiffness
  14. Put em where I can see em Shame about the naff image
  15. Right tested it with the AMAL valve bypassed and still no boost, so gonna wind the actuator right in now
  16. I know the feeling Mine is pretty much standard for now my log and pics Here and Here
  17. Right my car seems to have no boost the reading on the boost gauge never goes past the 0 in to boost and I have never heard the dump valve go off so I assume there is no boost, I know the wastegate can move freely and the flap is still in there and I have a new actuator, and there are no leaks from any pipes. I can spin the turbo by hand and it's ok no play, So I am lost to why there is none I don't want to wind the actuator in anymore Stupid crap cab
  18. Congrats to all the winners Looked like a nice turn out
  19. Hmm isn't that how all cabs fold up anyways
