More good news.. turbo is still alive hooray!

Fiddled with the pump a bit too, turned the fuel down slightly as it was still a bit smokey and wound up the idle. Much better now, on the T2 I had the max fuel as high as it would go and the idle all the way out, idle had climbed to 1100rpm too so it was pouring fuel in. Idle's now bang on 900rpm with the idle screw in and it responds MUCH better now.

Picks up speed effortlessly, 20-40mph kind of pulls at part throttle and it just spools. Hits 15-20 psi easily and goes no higher, no real lag as such. Still not tried it at top end but it's hitting 20psi under 2.5krpm, won't be trying any higher pulls until I get new oil in it.

Also had a brainstorming session with a pal whose previous cars include this beasty..



We're currently thinking of things we can do. Manly things, involving metal work and retro awesomeness. Unfortunately none of that is happening until we get paid again, so instead we fitted his banded steelies and cleaned my car. And found some props that may or may not be useful..

Oh and i'm not saying what either of our plans are, especially not Craig's as he's a whole transformation planned for his Cab that I am not at liberty to reveal, but needless to say within the next month a LOT of work will be happening. Lots of brews needed for the foreseeable future...

















He's running 9J front and 9.5J rear, no spacers, ET25 iirc, with 195/50/16's. Ghaz coilies are going on soon and more lows when we sort the arches.

But yes, lots happening soon, most of which a lot of you will moan at because i'll say before you all start, yes it would have looked sweet tidied up/paint redone, but one thing my turbos have taught me is it's just a car...
