  1. my car ran fine without for months but made the map made a difference, someone cut the cat temp wires on mine but probally could bung it. mine is a classic so maybe different. i think if i remember if you decat watch your boost or adjust wastegate to were it usually boost. may cause it to creep. it did this when i ported the headers.
  2. i have 3inch straight through except a short backbox and ported headers. does sound different to other classics, more deeper but since i ported it got slightly louder in my opinion. il dig a video out and excuse my m8 sounding a dick lol, and this was a private test track on my garden.

  3. thanks and ye i love the sunroof, on a trip to yorkshire the sunroof was a god send lol or i would have melted
  4. just incase any reminders come for me, who do i contact?
  5. i think its has variable speed sensitive powersteering, have you check the levels or replace fluid, and check the belts? there is a additive you can use, it renews the o rings etc.. but i cannot remember the name i think it was american. also if it dont work it garantees ur money bk. i tried it and it did wonders for mine. worth a shot m8 and good luck
  6. like above, all the usual exhaust, decat downpipe and uppipe uprated fuel pump and regulator colder plugs and a remap, then sort suspension, ie whitle line everything. give it a good polish it works every time for me. i get bored easy and had 7 cars last year but scoob has been with me 11 months so far
  7. the colour is royal silver, im sure it has a touch of gold in it, also been told the electric sunroof is quite rare? anyone shed any light on this
  8. theres always a list of things i want haha, i do want next is either a gizmo launch control or bee r rev limiter, 1 day a afp04 turbo which i think is best turbo im looking for as its a bridge between the td04 and td05 without doing anything to the injectors and maybe aftermarket side skirts, rb5 interior. then that will be it or not lol cheers for the comments guys

  10. more pictures when its sunny. manythanks to scoobyworx and acorn signs inverness. the pictures dont do it any justice. glitter black and glitter blue with carbon scoobyworx
  11. i found out it was the brake booster hose. i changed it to silicone hose type but the wall was too thin and sucked shut during boost and made the noise. i only found this out because i put original hose back but with a braid to look better and after that the noise stopped. s if you done same best check it out buddy
  12. cheers bud but i dont think its them. i have since found the downpipe is slightly moved to the right but still flat against the turbo and i can see black soot on the chassis leg so must leak from round there at high boost. so will try and tighten them
  13. I have been hearing a rush of air escaping sound only when at full throttle. The noise only happens at 0.5 bar and carries on till I reach 0.9 then disappears off throttle. I have come to the conclusion its the waste gate opening and letting the excess air escape somewhere. So I striped everything off including the turbo, up pipe and replaced all the gaskets. the turbo has no play what so ever. So I put it all back together and guess what it worked for the 1st test drive then the 2nd run it came back so this time I jacked up the car to feel for air and found none also checked the down pipe bolts which are very tight. So now im frustrated with the car altogether now. anyone have any ideas? Ps. The car drives fine and no codes just this strange noise on boost. Just scared of blowing something off
