Looking good chap like to see the power figues with the tdo4 chap, got to ask why saxo springs not 306 sprongs?

[Dum-Dum]

Looks good. Not sure id of run the turbo at that angle, apparently it encourages the oil seals to let go.

cheers lad, will hopefully get a few videos up of the power before and after the remap aww ive heard alot of boys saying over here that saxos go noticeably lower, and being northern ireland, if you have a 306 that dosnt bust sumps on uneven roads then your car is apparently not worth looking at lol

cheers lad, first time ive heard that :$ will say to my mechanic the next time, i says to him about clocking the turbo, and putting it straight, but he says this is a better way, the man has set up many rally cars and such so im going to trust his judgement lol, but il definetly say to him about the turbo seals going at that angle, and see what he says

[sam]

Nice one would be good to see ahhhh right fair enough id go coilovers over springs though to be honest dude

Same tbh, but im kinda saving all my money for the engine work atm lol, coilovers will be the first thing bought after the remap just wondering, how do you get your signature to sit in the middle rather than off to the left? lol

[sam]

Go in to your user cp click on signature and click on the centre agust on the lettering, fair enough what coilovers you looking at?

Get it dyno'd ASAP. I know Im one to talk though, been running a truck turbo since august and have yet to get It on the rolling road.......

[SonnyRoby]

Looks like a nice project.

[sam]

The 2nd is only a week away

[ozonehostile]

And Chris has a good point about the turbine angle. I had to sacrifice a nice downpipe angle so I could get the turbo level

[Midnightclub]

Intrigued to see what sort of lag this has

[Adam Canning WSG]

Few pictures of the new half leather seats i got, few scuffs on driver seat bolster, but taking it to an upholsterers soon to get repaired





And a wee pic of the custom spray job i got done on my engine cover, the 'TD04' bit is painted, not a sticker :p

[the milkman]

alright pal love to see what power this makes. and just out of interest where did you get your exhaust/turbo down pipe made/from?

Cheers mate, i reckon she will be brave n quick anyway :p aww my mechanic fabricated it himself so he did

[the milkman]

Ohh reckon he can fab more and ship for right price

[Tom]

This is really cool, never seen a td04 on a hdi so will be interesting to see what power you can make! Is the turbo supported? Or is it being help up by the manifold pipe?

[Adam Canning WSG]

Not sure tbh lol, because he would have to make the pipes up again on my car, and me and him both want my car out asap lol, sum guy offered £260 to have them made and delivered, but he just simply dosnt have the time, maybe in a few weeks or months time

Thanks lad, aww the turbo is fully supported, we have made up a custom bracket which we then bolted to the gearbox, so the turbo is mounted
