weres my power help please people - karl1989 - 28-02-2012
right here goes my car had a lucas pump and t2 turbo. changed to a bosh pump and just changed the turbo as mine was fecked. took it down the road and it pulled better but not as good as i thought and its coaling but the pump hasnt been tuned. could this be down to the air filter as i have a k&n filter but its tiny. im soooooo confuse :think: d

Black smoke smoke means boost leak.
Re: weres my power help please people - Dan! - 29-02-2012
What colour is your smoke Karl? As padge said black is overfuelling (caused by boost leak) and also white/grey smoke is usually retarded timing.
Re: weres my power help please people - mark_airey - 29-02-2012
Boost leak if its black smoke............look for connections that look like they are blowing or failing that put some soapy water on all the joins and drive it down the road, you will get bubbles anywhere its leaking
Favourites are the pipe as it comes from the turbo at the turbo end (you know, the one behind the engine thats a pig to get to) the inlet manifold gasket/manifold not tight enough or the "d-seal" connection.
Re: weres my power help please people - karl1989 - 29-02-2012
the smoke is black. ive just put a new Dseal on. im guna check the inlet manifold bolts see if they need nipping up. im guna check that pipe mark see it got a hole in it. hope i find this dam leak
Re: weres my power help please people - karl1989 - 29-02-2012
could the headgasket cause this?
Re: weres my power help please people - mark_airey - 29-02-2012
Not really no, HG's don't tend to go unless the engine gets cooked, I know mine has popped the turbo end of that hose off a couple of times Karl so its worth checking for sure!
Re: weres my power help please people - karl1989 - 29-02-2012
ye il check it mate. it should be still on cos i tightend it right up. been told it could be my intercooler (TMIC) btw.

If its slipped slightly and not fully off you will be loosing boost though! I doubt it will be the TMIC leaking TBH but I have 2 at home if your in need of a replacement
Do you have a boost gauge fitted?
Re: weres my power help please people - karl1989 - 29-02-2012
you have what 2 TMIC's. yes ive got a boost gauge fitted
Re: weres my power help please people - karl1989 - 02-03-2012
