From memory you the idle control valve works off coolant temperature and unbolts off the stock TB. You could unbolt it and mount it to the car and run the coolant pipes to it to reinstate idle control via the ECU. Disclaimer - I think!! :mrgreen: How did you get on mounting the TPS, are you sure hig...

Hmmm not sure then.

Will let you know when I go and run it for a while and then blip the throttle.

Can I just top the oil feed up with oil to keep the seals wet?

Cheers Bud I'll do that tonight.

With that in mind, is there a way to store a turbo without the oil seals going hard?

Cheers Jim, what's the odds aye, two knackered turbo's. Mine was fine when it came off

This is white thick and embarrassing.

Luckily its not my car

So you think I'm barking up the wrong tree with piston rings or valve stem oil seals?

I'll need to get some more testing done on it. Thanks for your inputs people.

Ah see this doesn't smell at all and is very white with a tiny hint of blue if at all. The CT20 on the car has covered 193,000 KMS running standard boost and no rebuilds or replacements that I am aware of. I bought my car/turbo at 52,000KMS and has always been serviced regularly with good parts. Thi...

Should have mentioned that I have changed the turbo for him replacing it with my own CT20 whilst I'm building my engine as that was initially where we thought the fault was.

My turbo was fine but has been shelved for three months, could the seals have gone in this time and caused the issue?

Cheers bud, I want to get a sniffer test done but a few garages I've rung haven't got the equipment.

Was going to use it as an excuse to get myself a tester

Need help with a friends car if possible. He's just bought it and its started smoking. It doesn't smoke on start up or when the car is driven on boost. It smokes when the car is up to temperature and when you park up and let the car run for a while on idle after about 30 seconds white smoke starts t...

Dedicated Matt on the OC.com has just started producing an awesome engine anti-torque bar.

Don't bother with Lexus lights either they look crap. A set of Rev3's with centre panel is the best way to go.

May need arches rolling though with a 35 offset

Out of your 2 options though, I'd be going for 9J on the rear

That's what I run with a slight roll to the arches.

Rob buy them, buy them now!!! They're pretty similar to BBS RS's but much better value, they will completely transform your car and I loved it before but with those wheels and that lil spoiler it will look the b0ll0cks!!!!! If you don't believe me, Stevie Ray Vaughan spoke to me in a dream and he sa...

Where's the other ones Rob?

And yes I think the white ones may be up for grabs

Speak to Dave about a cheap set of staggered 16's Rob...

This was for sale on trade car view a couple of months back. I wanted to buy it.. I love it.

I say yes Rob and then I would be looking for a nice set of BBS RS wheels to replace the old ones.

I'm not liking her on stockers its a shame the old wheels have seen their day

If you like that one check this out...
