    Turbo was the best thing to fail! Looking forward to seeing how she does...

    What's the current bhp/torque?

    Great updates. Been looking myself and the DTA looks like a great choice so hopefully solves all your awkwardness. Coil on plug is pretty cool too, didn’t realise that was an easy option.

    Got the turbo back. Oh it was knackered.
    New turbo has hybrided wheels and all that so. Billet too.






    Building the turbo up.



    Breather was tapped and then blocked. To remove that from the system to try and help.







    Fitting.
    Primed and started, no smoke.




    Test drove around the block a few times.... No smoke.



    Was very happy. Booked back in at track and road.

    All started ok.... Till it started smoking from the breather again so had to stop. Its better than it was, but when pushed it just starts to breath hard and smoke.



    Looking at rings next... Ready to burn it.

    Any one for a let block?

    Sounds like it might be time to rip the engine out and give it a bit of a refresh, or have you thought about z20leh engine? Wouldn't b any harder to fit and you have the dta management that could run it.
