Good stuff Maxy. Was wondering how you got on.

Out of interest, what else is Andy suggesting you fit to get more from it ?

he said sti intercooler then we could a bit further

regards

maxy

Just back from bodyshop rear panel,bumper,boot lid,bumpersupport bar,lights and respray

what about the sti boot spoiler hope it was not damaged

hope everyone is ok dont think i could have kept my cool

have you said to davie...... someone always seems to hit his cars i know he gets a good job where he goes

his beetle is going there for a new bumper !!!

maxy

big thanks to andy for mapping the car on tuesday the guy knows his stuff a genuine font of knowledge

i set the car up with the following with the figure of 300 bhp in mind

Full Decat from turbo back

Decat uppipe Pre turbo

Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump

Cold air Induction

High Flow multi spray fuel injectors 550cc

Up rated turbo to intercooler 'Y' pipe

NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs

TD05-16G turbo.

but got a very happy.........321 bhp and 310 LbFt and andy said that there is more to get from the turbo so i better start saving for a few more mods

only one problem was a leak from the uppipe at the turbo which is causing full boost to come in about 400 rpm later but should be fixed with a new gasket

but at the moment i am very happy......not stopped grinning since tuesday its a different car altogether sounds better drives better all round better

also thanks to gary aka jacko324 for his help with fitting the various bits especially with the things that went wrong !!

such as the stripped nut on the fuel rail, the leak from the fuel rail, having a spare header tank when outlet on the plastic one snapped, the exhaust leak and the battery that just happened to die on sunday night that had me thinking why did the idiot whose alarm kept going off do something about it .......only took me a half hour to work out it was me !!!!! i felt that we had a jinks on us (or david !)

i just wonder why we had all those bolts left over

had the same probs with mine off road for 7 days having calipers recond put it all back together battery jumped it took it for a run still flat so bit the bullit and bought a new one no probs now if your battery is older than 5 years buy a new one cheers .billy

think that might be it alarm is now going off and cant do anything

car is an 05

will get a new battery tomorrow

cheers billyboystoys

working on car saturday and today fitting new turbo and other bits

went to start the car flat battery so jump started it ok............... then went for and drive for half hour switched it off and was dead agian

anyone have any ideas

Can I ask why you went 16g route instead of VF route, not saying anything wrong just curious. Were you not tempted by an 18g ?

Similar idea I want for my blob and just building up the info to try and make right decision of what to get.

andy recommends that you choose the smallest turbo capable meeting your power requirements and i am only looking to make 300 (anymore is a bonus)

so the 16g was ideal for what power i was looking for ......plus i never had a td05 to trade in so price was on my mind and the wife was on my case !!!

will post up once i am back from andys

regards

maxy

i just picked one from andy last friday

will be fitting on saturday along with the rest of the bits and bobs ie

Full Decat from turbo back

Decat uppipe Pre turbo

Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump

K+N panel filter

Ecutek Custom ECU recalibration

Twin boost set up for high/low power switchable in-car

High Flow multi spray fuel injectors 550cc

Uprated turbo to intercooler 'Y' pipe

NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs

TD05-16G turbo.

maxy

spotted m77 just a junction 2 south bound about 13:30 hours

Just to let you know silverburn tesco 99 back working filled up last night

just filled up myself

cheers gary

maxy

as above in at the wheel place

If they have a tank full of 99, then it must be getting pretty old. The pumps haven't worked since about Christmas!

thats what she told me ...................she must be pulling my leg then

just to add there was no VPower Glasgow Pollokshaws Road or Anniesland Cross today

petrol tanker rolled up when we were in the forecourt and I asked the driver if he was carrying VPower.

Said he wasn't and that he was surprised there was none at the pumps...

Knew there was a shortage last week coming up from Manchester but it was meant to be sorted by this weekend

wish i read this half hour ago just went to pollockshaws shell for petrol

so i popped to tesco silverburn for some super 99 and was told that they have plenty petrol but the pumps are not working

anthracite for me ..................only because its what i want !!!

thanks guys

maxy
