Infact i read that wrong oops lol When disconnected from actuator its boosting over 7psi no probs, pill is there (feels to be) but arm does feel loose (spare turbo is solid no play at all)

Cheers Iain, appears my actuator is the problem. Now for next question i have a spare turbo with no play in shaft/actuator seems solid, should i just swap the actuator or wait and swap full unit? Currently the actuator on the car does seem to vibrate a lot and not sure if would have the same with other actuator? Cheers Gaz

Nice one mate cheers

Cheers Iain, so is it the pipe to actuator i should disconnect to test actuator? Then look for pill and failing this?? lol Cheers Gaz

Looked quickly at all the pipework (engine was hot and it was dark) and everything seemed tight and no obvious leaks. Althought on the 2 vacuum lines from the passenger side of inlet one goes to the vta dump valve and other has a bolt at end??? could this be one of the problems? All mods were done before i got the car so cant say if they were done correctly

Hi guys Got my 98 uk turbo in november and had always been running 7psi (suspected faulty solenoid) so after sourcing 2 solenoids both werent same as mine (d'oh) finally got one from my model .... changed it tonight and now i seem to be getting a better response but only reaching 5 or 6 (sometimes 7psi). Any ideas what may be causing this? When i changed it i changed the plate with solenoid etc for ease (dunno if this makes a difference). Cheers Gaz

Sorry thats what i meant, rather than mapping ecu merely used the boost controller to get extra power but was look for info as to if any others have just this and standard ecu and how they find it etc?

Alright guys, Well as my quest for 300bhp is starting to take shape im now looking into what was to map my car, Ecutek aint an option i know, Apexi FC are becoming harder to find so what other options are there? Was talking to someone earlier who had their 98 running an Apexi AVCR rather than the FC? Any info/advice much appreciated. Thanks Gaz

Nice one guys cheers

u happen to know what code it was mate? have seen h3 kicking around but want to be 100% before i order a set

Need to replace one of my bulbs but every book ive seen in Halfords etc dont have this listed, what bulb should i be looking for? Cheers Gaz

cheers guys Greig I touch goats

Alright folks, Quick question if anyone can help, is there any difference in pcd/offset between the bugeye wrx and a MY98 classic? Cheers in advance Gaz

No points for mot or tax offences, sure it wasnt for no insurance and a defect/offence he got the points?

Planning on getting Apexi asap so i can get it mapped to make most of the mods, thinking along the lines of walbro, panel filter and possibly up-pipe before maybe sti8 top mount, td05 and 550s but think thats as far as i want to go. Aiming for a reliable 300bhp

Anyone fitted one of these and if so how did it affect your emissions come MOT time? Already have 3"turbo back with no cat and was thinking of replacing the up-pipe too. Any comments and info welcome Cheers

Didnt give me any grief last night surprisingly with time of year and time i was out expected at least a quick "where you been, you been drinking?" stop. Been kicking about Glasgow a lot recently and cant remember seeing one like this but will keep an eye out bud

Guess part will be personal preference and i suppose everywhere will have some mixed reviews, once i get the new box in ill contact a few i think and just whats on offer and where. Cheers anyway guys

Heard mixed reviews about Hypertech, specifically a hondatech RR day which most were very unhappy with the service/figures the dyno was showing

Atm its only got a turbo back 3" exhaust with decat from what ive been told by previous owner, boost was turned down because he was scared of the car so its running 7psi just now (want that set at the standard boost) and ive also got a fmic sitting that im looking for advice regarding best time to fit with the setup of the car. Not looking for a particular figure just after a good power run to make sure fueling etc seems spot on and get an indication of what its running before i start modding it. Only had the car for 7 days hence little info regarding power figures atm

Both cars look stunning, very clean examples

Alright folks, been looking into getting my MY98 uk turbo onto the rollers to get a power run and checked out to make sure everything is as it should be with it with some mild tweaking if required. Been looking at maybe taking it up to the guys at Extreme and was wondering if anyone has used them before and how you found the experience? Cheers Gaz
