thanks john.

brilliant!

hi there

i was just wondering if the 2.0 8v engine has the same engine mounting positions as the 1.7 turbo?

also what sort of power are people getting from their 2.0? are there many tuning parts available?

i look forward to hearing the answers?

could one of you guys actually tell me what the map sesor does to the ignition... what is the ignition doing when the map sensor sees infinity pressure, alterativly can you tell me what it does when it sees atmosphere?

thanks

just a quick question... what does the title actually do to the ignition. if you blocked the map sensor so it was reading infinity vacume would it retard the ignition loads.
is this dangerous for your engine?

let me know....

the turbo came off an early saab.

never heard of the second option, might just have to get the mount moved. i can't wait until it's fitted should be hitting 200hp

cheers

i managed to spin it around but now it means the actuator is out of line... more hassel! it will be worth the more power though

cheers

where abouts are the clamps? on the turbine side?

just got my hands on a t25 turbo, however slight problem... the outlet on the compressor side is set to blow air out 180 degrees the wrong way to my exsisting t2. question is how do i adjust it??

hi there

just wondering whats involved in fitting a bigger turbo. am i right in thinking a saab t25 turbo will fit as a direct replacement.
any helpful information will be greatful

cheers

i've found the problem. i was speaking to a guy at the weekend who knew loads about the turbo engine and i told him my simptons. straight away he checked my actuator and suggested i got a -31 actuator. works sweet now. i changed the fuel pump and filter and that has helped to.
cheers

well it only cuts out in first definatly and sometimes second. however now when under load in third, forth and fifth the car loses power around 4ooo rpm as if it is been starved of fuel. hopefully changing the fuel pump should sort the problem. i'm going to fit the UFO back on that should do somethi...

hi those are the same symtoms as what i have. you boot it and around 4000rpm the engine cuts out. i found out my fuel pump wasn't supplying enough fuel so i'm in the process of changing that, i'm also going to change the fuel filter and the pressure regulator. i have gathered two solutions from this...

i've just changed my dump valve back to the standard from a baileys twin piston one. it has made the car a lot smoother when you only have your foot slightly on the accelerator. apart from that i'm not sure of the benifits

i'd be interested in one for that price
cheers

richard ha sinformed me that the ECU learns with time so when i fitted the bleed valve to my car the ECU lowered the protection of the engine to 0.5 bar of boost.

how do i make my photo smaller?

hi there
i've fitted a volvo 480 turbo into my clio and was just reading about the boost being turned up to produce 165bhp. my engine keeps cutting out due to the boost limiter it's so annoying so who is this richard guy? how much is it to up the boost
cheers
