Theres less smoke than there was on the dyno, no clutch slip, the speedo just climbs relentlessly on the motorway and I counted a 30-70 in my head and it was less than 6 seconds. I need to video one tomorrow.
Cant wait to permanently fix the limp mode fault (and oil leak) then see if we can get even more power.
So do you yet know what the cause of the oil leak is? If it's the high pressure side of the turbo, you could be running the risk of wrecking that if the bearing doesn't have enough oil pressure...
Does it matter? Lets look at this from a dum dum perspective.
The engine takes 5L of oil full. We remove 1L because dumdum thought It would be a good idea for weight saving.
The leak is dropping 4L of oil per minute. The engine will only run for a maximum of 30 seconds dry before seizing so by this logic, in the time it's taken me to type this, it's blown up, he's scrapped it and bought another stupidly f*cked car.
