Sounds like it could be a loose wheel!
Failing that, look at brakes and wheel bearings.
There's not really anything on the front that rotates with the wheel... I.e. no driveshafts to be knocking.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Which boss kit Rev2?
Has anyone else got any thoughts on this?
I'm after a shorter hub for my rev 3 as the deep dish steering wheel means I can't reach the stalks without removing my hands completely.
Just not sure such a thing exists or where to find them?

Re: Handling on rev 3 turbo
MR2's only handle well for a 25 year old bus. Type R's, Focus ST's, Meganes etc will all run rings around a standard (and probably modified) MR2.
It's just technology catching up I guess.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Full boost at 5000rpm?
Right, I'm 99% sure the PFC is controlling boost, as I managed to enter the boost settings which shows how the boost pressure increases as the water temperate rises, with maximum being 1.2bar. The profec spec I does nothing I suspect, but just lights up and 'looks' functional. The boost reading on t...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Full boost at 5000rpm?
Ryan seemed to think it was a faulty actuator which could have been fouling the decat pipe potentially? I don't think there is a low boost setting, but to be honest, this commander thing scares me! :lol: So spraying carb cleaner should make the idle change? How easy is it to check/change the solenoi...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Full boost at 5000rpm?
Hi all, Having recently bought my first MR2 tubby, I inevitably have a few questions about boost! The car is a rev 3 and running a Power FC as well as all the usual bolt on mods: Blitz exhaust, filter, smic etc... It has been mapped by Ryan at 2Bar and has a graph to show 287bhp. However, According ...

Re: [FINALIZED] 94’ MR2 Turbo GTS Rev3 Tintop SMG
Look, all i'm saying is, if I'd have known it didn't drive as it should I would never have made the 100- odd mile trip. Why didn't you mention in your advert (or to me) that as soon as you reach full boost it suffers major fuel cut? Instead we waited til a test drive for this to become apparent. How...

Re: [FINALIZED] 94’ MR2 Turbo GTS Rev3 Tintop SMG
I expected to be able to get in it and give it a proper test drive. It doesn't run properly and you tried to mask the fuel cut by not holding full boost and saying "it's never been a problem as I don't use full throttle". What a load of tosh - who buys an MR2 turbo to only ever use it off ...

Re: [FINALIZED] 94’ MR2 Turbo GTS Rev3 Tintop SMG
After taking the trip from Coventry to London to view this I noted a few things which may 'need attention' shall we say.... Every time you use full throttle it violently cuts out at about 4000rpm, even though it apparently "boosts properly". There are a multitude of knocks bangs and rattle...
