ONLY?? 31psi lol doubt i will take mine that far dont wana kill it will be happy around 20-25psi, what boost are you going to be going for? isnt 30psi enough? arnt you gona start to smash the engine to bits if you go with any more boost?

[CJ_Derv]

Well just looking at devils own kit for when it goes over that to keep charge temp etc down but IMO 28psi is safe on a TD04 ive ran that with a leaking manifold for about 6 month lol

[Jenkosowls]

Can see 40psi from a tdo4 done a few poor tuned cars that ended up slipping clutches boosting 40psi plus

LOL i will be happy with 25psi dont wana go mental with the boost want the car to last me

Well went to car this morning to sort the oil leak it was the oil return line the gasket between the turbo and metal pipe so put a new gasket on should be sorted now.

When i was laid under car with it running looking for the oil leak heard water dripping f@@king radiator had burst so took it off ended up killing the clips that hold the bottom pipe on so now with out a car till peugeot get me the pipe in should be in tomorrow morning hopefully..... Spent so much on this car starting to piss me off abit now hope i get some trouble free motoring for a few months now

That bottom clip is an arse!!!

So have you let the td04 come on boost properly yet?

I only drove car about 2 miles but I have turned pump right down so I can bed it in but still boosting 15psi, gona turn it up a tiny bit cos theres no power down low, that bad bearly manged to get car on ramps to do rad, once I get rad sorted will get to see what its like, carnt wait tbh haveing to use fiancee's car at min 07 plate 1.2 punto god help me lol

[Chris_90]

Fixed rad and oil leak, so all back as it should be now Just going to bed the turbo in and start turning it up, Also seen an add for cheap veg on ebay just been and got 220liters at 72p a liter brand new veg to

Got a question



This pipe that comes of the side of the turbo normally goes to the wastgate so i tried to block it off with a bit of pipe and a bolt in the end and it came off with in about 30 seconds, Will it be ok as it is?? or would it be best to block it off was thinking about some of that chemical metal on it? Advice please

[Mattcheese31]

nope that needs blocking . .epic boost leak otherwise .

[Tom]

Bit of pipe with bolt in the end and a jubilee clip should hold it in there!

[Chris_90]

Carnt see it being epic leak its only like 2/3mm hole but will get it blocked up when I can be arsed to go down back of eninge agin

Bit of pipe with bolt in the end and a jubilee clip should hold it in there!

Thats what I did but it come off straight away

Try one of them, better than having a bolt in the end of it

[Midnightclub]

You say it's "only a small hole" but a hole around the same size made a 30hp boost leak on seans HDi

Think that will make me get it sorted asap lol

[Midnightclub]

[Mattcheese31]

True do you no how the small metal pipe comes out of the hole? so i can take it out then put some that chemical metal stuff over it to block it

[CJ_Derv]

Iv got a silicone hose with zip tie on bolt and pipe works a treat

Maybe in need to secure the pipe on better, dont wana have to keep taking engine off its mount getting right on my tits now having to go down back of engine all time, so think i will try the chemical metal stuff should block it off good

[bigcheez2k3]

Plugged the hole yet? (giggity)

I bought a piece of pipe that originally was meant to go from there to the actuator, obviously not needed now so cut about 2" off, used some instant gasket on the pipe and the turbo.

Not yet lol its on my to do list tho just decied to try and have one week off were I dont work on the car got cuts and oil stained fingers from working on the car all the time will get round to it tho .

[Chris_90]

Not much of an update but hit a milestone today



Car is booked in to garage to have new wheel bearing tomorrow. snow pulled my handbrake cable down and exhaust shield so hopefully he can sort that to tomorrow.

Picking up some cyclones off ash23 hopefully tomorrow as well as i got a slow puncture so just deiced to have the steelys as spares and go to cyclones. Hopefully might make my car look abit better.

Still got the hole on turbo to block up, still boosting 20psi with no smoke what so ever no matter how much i floor it off boost. So needs some more tuneing really but getting every thing else sorted first. Also might have some gti6 brakes finaly just waiting some one to get back to me.

If i can fit 16" forearms down and put the pipe on im sure you can without the engine off mount lol

How do you do that? i carnt see any way off getting down there with it on its mount, I have the air feed side of the master cylinder tho, I will get to it in time lol just wana get every thing else sorted first

[CJ_Derv]

I can get down its a tight squeeze and i lose a tad of brake fluid from pushin arm down the gap but is possible lol

My tip get silicon hose bout 2" blanks and zip tied one end and losely out zip tie on othe end and push on turbo and pull tight while arm stil in lol

[Chris_90]

So bit of an update had the wheel bearing done feels like i had my ears cut off lol the peace and quite is bliss..... Well till someing else starts rattleing or falls off lol

Also picked up cyclones of ash23




One needs painting but gona wait till we get some hot weather so i can spray them thinking of going for a different colour any way.

Also if every thing goes to plan will have some gti front shocks with 30/35mm lowering springs, will have to look in to getting rear lowered same amount.

Seems to be coming on nicely Comments welcome
