As said previously: only raised boost and pump and sorted the exhaust a bit... Worked well enough at that time and was a pleasure for daily useage. :)

has anyone got any better pictures on how to run the inter cooler pipes
thanks
just put my bleed valve on and it doesnt seem to have done anything :S:S , its a 3 peace one , i have put y boost gauge onto to bottom of it and the turbo/actuator on the opposite , it wont boost more than 10 psi
have you turned the fuel up aswell?? the reason i ask is diesels works differently to petrols. you govern the mount of fuel and not the amount of air with diesels. so you could have a turbo the size of a house plumbed to it but it still wont boost more until you turn the fuel up
i think his fuels turned up.. i could barely see where i was going today after he went past me lol
lol sounds about right then.
ive just realised why its not working aswell. the bottom outlet is where it bleeds the pressure off and therefore allows a higher level of boost. being as you have connected your gauge to this you have effectively blocked it so that it cant bleed it off.
you boost gauge in the pipe that goes between the inlet manifold and fuel pump.
Just reading this, got my boost gauge fitted today and its making bang on standard boost.
Looking at the inlet air box, can i just remove the air pipe off the compressor inlet, and fit a cone filter right onto the inlet?????
theres the metal pipe coming from the inlet of the turbo up to the inlet manifold. undo it from the inlet manifold and turn the metal pipe to point behind the headlight and then wack the cone filter on
10-4
do the 1.7td cav engines just bolt into a corsa then or are the mounts lower/higher or anything
its a 1.5 diesel corsa btw
God im having a nightmare with doing this to my nova 1.5td. Can anybody possibly give me a number so i can explain to someone what i have done?
I know its a weird request but im pretty much without a car now. Or even better if someone could contact me on 07709300558. much appreciated, matt
What are you struggling with?, you cant really go wrong tbh.
here you go matt.

there was a yellow nova down my way with the 1.7td he smashed it though.
is he on here???? no!! my statement still stands
Found out today that the turbo/actuator is weak on my TD :(
It will still only make a bar boost with the actuator pipe removed. Fail :(
No 1.7bar for me
wel have done it but no pictures sadly :(Quote:

the grill did actually still fit
Yeah.
Will i need to increase it further to get more boost?
I get smoke under full boost.
I assumed with the actuator pipe off the turbo would boost to whatever it could...(until A-the turbo died, 2-the overboost safety valve opened) ?
Ive got quite a few goodies to go on too!!! FMIC, short pipe and cone filter for comp intake, NA inlet etc etc
no adam its a diesel not a petrol. my brother was making exactly the same mistake today. he couldnt work out why he couldnt get above hav a bar today until i reminded him that its a dieselQuote:

exactly that. my brothers astra was only boosting half a bar today until we turned up the fuel by half a turn and its now got a bar of boost. we would of gone further but it blew off a hose
I hear you.
Time to get the screwdriver out again then
good lad ;)
also limiting how much its boosting via the fuel aint cool, infact it'll make it run hotter than it should
diesels gonna get yet, but i remember you saying theres no point in tuning one, let alone owning one lol
lol
Im quite impressed by it tbh!!!!
So much quicker than it is as standard, even with just a bar.
The only downside is the brakes take a right hammering!
I got brake fade on some b-roads the other night, i guess the solid 236s stopping an astra from about 70+ ;) a couple of times, down to 30, dont cut it. Could smell them burning lol, and seriously didnt expect to slow enough to take the corner!!!
just need the N/A manifold now adam
