boost problem

[mark_airey]

The 1.8 probably would be a bit more reliable, only because it wont produce as much torque as the 1.9 though. I love how everyone is getting spare engines its awesome, people must be pushing

Says he with half the county's supply of XUD's stockpiled

so ive been stripping the old girl down and found a couple of untoward things. firstly, one of the injectors was charred all over the end so i figured this was just a nackered fire shield? more worrying was the amount of play in the turbo shaft. it hasnt long since been rebuild and has quite a bit of movement :? not sure why this would be

Yeah if the whole tip is charred then it points to that injector not being sealed properly IMO

A bit of play in a turbo shaft is normal, side to side movement isn't a problem unless its hitting the housing, the slack is taken up by the oil when the car is running, any in and out movement in the shaft though and its buggered!
