Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Boost Problems! 1995 Rev 3 Turbo
Possibly so. I think it's one of the most annoying problems I've ever had with a car, knowing how potentially quick it is and not knowing why it won't produce the power is infuriating!

Was yours an aftermarket ebc nathan? My car is just on the factory boost control.

That's a very kind offer which I'd love to take you up on when I have the time, I'm only over in Congleton so not far at all!

The car idles perfectly and seems to run fine apart from being massively down on power.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Boost Problems! 1995 Rev 3 Turbo
I had suspected the dump valve was a possibility, I have the original Toyota valve which I was thinking of putting back on as I'm not bothered about losing the hiss between gears.
Is it hard to replace the HKS back to the stock valve?

Re: Where have all the Turbos gone?
I posted a similar question late last year.
I was looking on and off for months and as you say there don't seem to be that many for sale at once, especially not rev3 tintops!
I finally found one I liked and bought it in December, it's a great car!
Hold out for your ideal car, it's worth the wait!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Radiator fans not running
Did you fix the problem?
I may be completely wrong but if you've recently had a new rad and water pump perhaps it's being cooled more efficiently so the fans aren't needing to kick in as soon as they used to.
Like I say could be wrong but makes sense to me!
