Rev 3-5 turbo's are the same engine so as reliability goes it depends on the how well the car has been looked after not the revision, Personally id wait for a clean rev 3 turbo (94), means you can decat it too and still pass your mot

Eibach Subaru springs are meant to be good

Grab a few meters of 4mm silicone hose, I once used Halfords washer tubing and that used to heat up and collapse and the gauge behaved just like yours, I thought I was the only person daft enough but a few people have done the same on here

You sure the tubing isn't getting softer when it gets warm and collapsing in on itself under vacuum?

Sounds like its going to be a right dog, if someone cant afford to keep her and can sell for 1600 quid then its probably been maintained on the cheap and will probably turn into a money pit, some pictures and more details are needed for a conclusive opinion though.

Take it out as a whole easy enough to do and then you can give it a good look over, could have it out have a look and then back in within the hour. For the price of a new spring cup and other stuff you may need, a second hand set might be a decent option always some for sale.

If your having trouble finding a mr2 what isn't rotting good luck with the 200sx which is notorious for rot.

best thing to do is keep checking imoc, pistonheads, ebay and don't rush into it there is plenty around, took me 12 months of looking then 3 popped up at once got beaten to one then went to look at another on the off chance and turned out to be a very clean rev3. As said before there seems to be a f...

ive bitten the bullet and bought a 2nd hand mongoose had one on my old car and in terms of noise its the best of a bad bunch, other than that id have to go for something like a fujitsubo legalis r but they dont come up that often.

I would be careful with a bung on a blitz nur spec, it could create too much back pressure and it can cause the engine to run backwards.

I like the mongoose up to about 70mph then it drones like mad, if i go aftermarket that will be my choice. Ill probably end up biting the bullet and going for it just driving around in a quiet mr2 is a bit of a novelty at the moment

Ive already put a power enterprise air filter on it and fitted a greddy type s bov, next im going to put a berk decat on and a uprated intercooler for safety then control boost with a greddy profec i think one step at a time as im working away from home a lot at the moment. Was just wondering with t...

My new turbo has a standard exhaust which im quite enjoying as ive always had uprated ones on my cars of old which would drone on the motorway.
If i add a air filter, intercooler, decat will i have a problem running it at 1.0-1.2 bar? its a rev 3.

never mind fixed it - don't connect the vacuum line to both nipples leave the smaller one open works perfectly now!! i automatically used them both like the stock one.
sorry folks

Just installed my greddy type s, noticed that when i put my hand over the exit my hand sticks to it, that doesnt seem right? ive tried adjusting the spring any ideas?

http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/garage.php?mode=view_gallery_item&type=garage_gallery&image_id=20087 Got it about a month ago totally standard apart from the wheels which I'm not keen on at all but plenty of time to find some others. Very clean underneath which is main thing, saw yours when I ...

Good to see that back on the road seen it laid up at Yvs last couple of trips it stands out because it's like a mirror image of mine , I was there last Saturday cadging a bolt off Simon, was you one of lads there?

Yeah no worries got loads of bits n bobs to put it on with and bung pipe up, thinking about getting a small length on 80mm pipe and sticking a K&n on it to replace stock airbox anyway. Saves paying 150 for a induction kit.

Lovely jubbely that's getting smashed on at weekend cheers Sheepy

Just a quick one is the vtv valve required for my greddy bov as I broke mine when removing pipework.
For those that done know the vtv is the small plastic valve next to the standard bov that controls the flow of air to the bov.
Cheers
