Apologies, this was done over a few days. 

Carried out a filter change and oil on the BTF transmission, Carried out a Oil change on the Diff (Found the large 28mm fill nut to be finger tight....)

Went to get a retune on the mods that I had previously carried out a few posts up. Got a phone call from the tuner saying the car is over boosting and unable to get the numbers back down to where he is happy with. Apparently with the work that I did installing the under battery intake and Plazmaman front facing plenum with 3inch pipework to the plenum the car now hits 17psi instead of 13psi in which it was originally tuned. They have advised I need an external wastegate to get the boost back down to where its safe. Live and learn I guess :)

"today" is a relative term ;) any day you do something to your car and then post about it later is fine, by the way ;)

The tuner I have will not push a ba past 13 pound as he has said that's his limit for longevity and anything over that will be a ticking time bomb. He has got 1 car at 400hp that has done over 400 thou and has been running that for many many years (running original diff and transmission)

Fair enough.

 

At the moment im running 2psi  iv been trying to find a boost leak today, I havnt found a single issue yet, iv pressure tested from turbo outlet to throttle body pipe and checked all clamps and hoses on plenum. Trying to get it back to my usual 17-18psi. It just all of a sudden stopped boosting while driving the other night.
