Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] arrrrgh i took the spoiler off and now she's broken
yeah its a 1991 or 92
(have know jap info for the car) but it wont idel so if it was overboosting surly it would still idel and run till the boost kicked in.
what kind of things course over boosting.
this is my first turbo car and its also one of the most complex electronics wise

[Mk2] [Turbo] arrrrgh i took the spoiler off and now she's broken

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] maybe the suspension is knocking and the trim rattle
