Slash Donkey Dick Member 801 Member For: 14y 6m 2d Gender: Male Posted 01/06/12 07:52 AM Share Posted 01/06/12 07:52 AM Might be worth having a mechanical inspection done by a dealership or RAC mate? Fairly cheap ($150ish) & probably comparible to a carton or 2 of decent beer/bourbon. Just a thought & wish you all the best in finding out there's nothing majorly wrong with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not as they'd want it up on a hoist and what not yeah?Just trying to save costs atm, would need to get it towed somewhere to be looked at unless it could be done from home haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More access & can find things you normally wouldn't whilst up in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh, did u upgrade your turbo or is it still stock?Yeah I have a 66mm wheel jammed into the bigger BA/BF turbo and I can get a nanna nap in waiting for boost. I usually just recline, look up some mobile porn, makes some calls, check the forum etc and then eventually I start seeing positive pressure on my gauges! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh, did u upgrade your turbo or is it still stock?I have the bigger wheel with a .7 front cover Kyle. It is a little laggier then the factory one but I prefer it because its much more predictable when it comes on, and makes up for it. Though you wouldnt know how yours has been tuned to come on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mates BF made 396kw on the stock turbo on 19psi. Unless your going to pump 20+psi in at 6000rpm the bigger wheel and cover is a waste of time IMO. Zero extra kw and >500rpm more lag.......Fail! There is zero benefit to extra lag on the street! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
