Pics or it didn't happen

Converted the lawn mower to E85, and by convert I mean I had nothing else to pour in there runs good though

Got everything back on after putting the intercooler kit in and wired the gauge lights

Are they know to send wrong parts?

Well after getting attacked by random dogs in my garage and losing the 15th number 10 socket. It's on, fits good Intercooler piping fyi

Wish me luck

Nice big turbo, must sound unique with that turbo and manifold

I'll be sure to let you guys know

Yeah your right, I trawl through forums for a few hours. Can you delete this thread. No need for it.

It has new monroe shocks front and rear with the standard springs. It's a sedan Has anyone only put lowering springs in the rear? I only want to drop it 20-25 mm at most. I know if I drop it 20-25 mm I'll probably need shortened bump stops. Will I need anything else so that the tyres still wear evenly? This is a daily car and don't plan on doing fast corners or tracking it, just lazy driving. Also when I get a little but more power I would like the car to stay as straight as possible. Anything I should know suspension wise to help that? Thanks guys and girls.

Yeah that's the plan, just getting everything 100% before I do a tune though. No point in doing a tune then fixing little leaks here and there and what not. Lots of little things add up to big changes.

I don't remember the old Victorian plates on it, qld plates now. Plus I asked the previous owner. He said no tune from him. I don't drive it hard anyway until I'm finished with going over the whole car myself.

Intake I made myself, it's only a 3 inch elbow with a 30 degree pipe and a filter. Two reasons were noise and easier to work on car later, the battery relocation kit I put in myself. All I'm doing right now is cleaning everything that can be cleaned and changed a pcv valve ran the lines different so it looks neater, boost solenoid and all the vacuum lines. And while everything is off I ordered new intercooler piping.

Yeah I tried looking myself, but most aftermarket ones are black as well. Really don't want to pull one out. I haven't got enough scotch to work on any cars today

Here you go Hopefully you can tell if their standard or not. Far as I know there are no other mods I just got it cheap because he didn't care about money and wanted a hatchback for the city. It was for sale for a day when I saw it and bought it then and there.

Yeah there's log books, I just found the number. No tune.

I bought the car 4 months ago, really had no intentions of modifying it. I don't have the guys contact number anymore unfortunately. I just saw it for sale and bought it on the day cause it was $6k cheaper than the rest and drove really well.

So does that mean I need a new hand controller for future tunes if I can't find it? I'm guessing the controllers only work for one car.

Yeah its nice and smooth. Curious what it makes though. If its tuned could there be a hand controller hiding somewhere? Are the sct x4 hand controllers always attached or is it a plug in, use, and remove type of system. If that makes sense.

Just had a quick look, seems HI torque performance is closest to me. Anyone have any experience with them recently? I see stuff from a few years ago but that doesn't mean anything.

Yeah that's the plan, I need to find somewhere on the gold coast to take it to see what's going in with it. See what's going on. I put in a boost gauge and oil temp gauge and it hits11-12 psi. I'm guessing it's been tuned

Did you mean heat shield around the dump pipe? there was only a heat shield over the turbo manifold. Don't worry, I already punched myself in the face. I just realised it's a aftermarket cat. Has a big venom plate on it. Oh well, good surprise I suppose ?.

Yeah didn't think my name would last long? I had cats on me, all I could think of... took the heat shields off to check the manifold bolts and check the actuator.got it for cheap so The car is slowly being pulled apart for maintenance I gave it a wipe to clean it and some more pics. I thought it might be aftermarket because it's a different color to the rest of the system

Is this a standard cat on a FG xr6 turbo. Thanks for the help.
