Re: Vac hose location

So I assume had this been unblocked when i drove it, I would have struggled to make boost?

I've not tried it since blocking it.

I'll check where I've taken it from later and move it if needed.

Re: Vac hose location

Currently just trying to run a spring pressure which should be 1 bar.

Have one vac pipe from the manifold going to the bottom port on the gate, top port has nothing on it.

Boost leak was my thought so went hunting for pipes not attached.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Garrett turbos

Hi

It's 4 bolt.

On second look it seems I can't use a rule.....

When I got under the car today the size seems more like 2,3/4" so 3" really.

One of the threads is a bit unreliable though, thoughts on heli-coiling it or, tap it larger?

[Mk2] [Turbo] Garrett turbos

Hi all

A couple of years ago I bought tricksters old gt3076, does anyone know if these were available with 2.5" and 3" exhaust outlets. Mine has a 2.5 but all I seem to be able to fine for gt30 series turbos is 3" flanges?

Re: Self build aero improvements

Yeah, saw yours for sale. Shame it's been painted I think that may put the carbon bonnet crew off. I understand why you did it though. Bought mine from a guy who got it from Nathan of century Motorsport, it was damaged when his car tried to leave the trailer in a motorway bump I believe. So needs so...

Re: Self build aero improvements

Some good reading there, and nice to see some kind of evidence to how effective these add ons are, rather than just opinions.

Already got the ask sport bonnet and scoop, seems like it's time to make a splitter/frunk flat floor to get the best from it.

Self build aero improvements

Hi

Anyone done any self/home build aero improvements?

Such as, front splitters, rear diffusers, canards, vented front/rear wings?

Been reading a fair bit online about aerodynamics and wondering if anyone has done much themselves?
