Sell your car and buy an auto, it's seriously not worth the aggro.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 and Decat
Technically you don't *need* one after that date either, it's just that the emission levels become much stricter, so it becomes much harder without one. My '96 scrapes through without a cat.

Re: [MK2] [Turbo] Oil consumption, where is it going???
It can be hard to see in daylight - go for a spin at night time, wait until you have headlights behind and nail it, you'll soon see if you have any/much smoke - shows up very clearly. (Be safe when doing it though obviously!) Although some cars run rich and a little black smoke is normal, but that'd...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Speed pulse wire location
I need a speed pulse (sat nav), I've done some searching and found that purple/white is the required wire but it's hazy where this appears on different gens, does anyone know if it's behind the speedo clock on a gen3?
Cheers.
Cheers.

Re: Regular Essex Drive and Meet - 9th August 2010
Still dragging on, looks like I'm going to miss the run :/
Will still try and get down to the meet after though.

Re: Manual Boost Controllers
Make sure it's a ball & spring valve (sometimes known as Grainger valve), avoid bleed valves. I used a ball&spring valve to good effect for a time.
MBCs are ok, but they're *never* as good as an EBC, but if looking for something inexpensive then they're perfect.

Re: Manual Boost Controllers
MBC are ok, it's a compromise though - obviously you get more engine load/more boost in higher gears (so be sure to set boost in 3rd gear) so you then get slightly less in 1st and 2nd, whereas EBC will continually adjust to a set boost pressure. Might be worth checking ebay out, you can pickup decen...

yes; wot
WOT is 6~10 psi over not WOT, injectors pumping fuel gives extra seal bumping the figures slightly - all in all sounds like a nice & tight engine. A large factor is variance across the 4, yours is pretty much spot on.

Re: [MK2] [Turbo] Oil consumption, where is it going???
Did you measure it with the car in the same orientation each time? (e.g. 1st facing down a hill. 2nd facing up a hill) - just trying to eliminate the obvious!

Did you have EFI fuse pulled and was the throttle open or closed?

I'm quite near the Dick Turpin so would make sense to start there.
All dependent on a job I'm doing, hoping to finish late afternoon.

Re: tubby vs na fuel econnomy
Just filled up, I managed 265 miles from the previous tankful (gen3 tubby), this included lots of spirited driving, about 50 miles on a motorway and a fair bit of town driving. Good enough for me!
