i wasnt able to get all my plans put together there and then either and did this...had a proper car ramp to lift the car over my head to use...big bonus...!5 out of the 6 bolts snapped from the cat/turbo exhaust flange join and didnt have the right tools at hand...nightmare..many hours were wasted h...

due to being on a limited budget the guts will be staying standard for the time being(i know life sucks ](*,) ) unfortunately... s/s headgasket idea is because i would like to push the standard engine to its limits and the s/s headgasket would not be failing on me.(last two mr2 turbos ive had have h...

you need to get a professional diagnosis with that one mate.couldnt say without seeing it but book your car into a garage asap and dont drive it,could cost loads more...!got to be cool to wear shades

if however your on a limited budget the unichip will give you a safe 280 or 290 bhp at the flywheel with no other mods and if in the future you add other mods then it is a simple 1 hour rolling road session to integrate the mods into the unichip to up your bhp and the general running off the car,hop...

yep,get the exhaust sorted and get rid of the cat.2fast2cool are selling a dep. 2 style exhaust on ebay,i got one for £240 and it looks great and sounds pretty dam good compared to blueflame or mongoose,also it is 3" all the way through so if u decide ur wanting more than 300 rwhp (in the futur...

i had to change mine on my old mr2,busy at the time so put it into a garage,took them 3 days....!in fairness they charged me 1 days labour but after that experience all im saying is be carefull.

just leave the gear linkage where it is when you disconect it(neutral inside the car)the bolts that are prone to snapping are the ones conecting the cat to the (piping between the turbo and cat)been there,done it,pain in the a*** without the right tools...good luck

go down to a local welder,i.e.sheet metal workers or the likes(plenty about)remove the original dump valve,take the piping off(takes about 5 mins)then get them to weld 2" or so of aliminium piping into the hole,make sure you remember to get a lip around the end and hey presto...!uve now got the...

accelerating hard in third,clutch in and then into forth,clutch out and gear poping into neutral..every other gear change is fine.somtimes you can engage fourth gear and if it goes in then it stays there no problem.removing engine shortly as to add several upgrades so ny advice on how this could be ...

had a similar problem with my old rev 1 turbo,turned out to be a little bit of oil coming through from the turbo.try giving ur piping and throttle body a good clean with a new jubilee clip,hopefully that will sort it out for you..

many thanks for the response folks,will try...happy driving..!

have a rev 3 turbo.been running higher boost for a few months now.somtimes overboost detected by ecu but after a recent overboost detection(34)ive lost more than half the cars power.boost gauge still reads 14 psi but every time i accelerate hard it feels like the car has 100bhp.the car still drives ...
