Dave Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Superb Rich mate. What a cracking build up thread! excellent stuff !! You had her on the dyno yet or still running her in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 She has been on the dyno but only for a running in map . its been mapped up to 4000 rpm and the rev limiter has be set there so i can run it in . i got it back last night . so i have 2 weeks to get some miles on it . its booked in for the full map the week before jap show . But im having turbo problems again (smoking ) the turbo is brand new its only done about 50 miles . so i think im just going to have to get my money back and go for a garrett gt30 or gt35 they are alot of money but the cheaper ones are just no good . but its mad, i have always had xs power turbos and they have been great . so i went for a gt35 copy of ebay at £400 so no means cheap and i have had nothing but problems .Rich.
