Iv got so many things to repair on the nav at the moment i wont be able to get the manifold cleaned for a few months at least. So might look into the engine cleaners
Iv been running the intercooler for a couple of years now. It shouldnt be to hard to remove. I'll have to have a look how to clean them i think i remeber seeing it done with petrol?
I replaced a few silicon hoses that were leaking today. I noticed some oil in the intercooler, and the pipe work had a little oil in it.
I ended up putting the original cross over pipe back on and bypassed the intercooler. The car seemed more responsive with out the intercooler but was still...
Well i took the hose off the pcv outlet, it does seem a bit better to drive then it was yesterday but its also 15°c cooler today so id put it down to that. Its alot worst on hot days
Yes i know, no baffles or anything inside. I'll upgrade it as soon as i can.
I blocked the egr as soon as i got the car at 90,000km but i do want to have the manifold cleaned at some stage. It does feel like its not getting enough air at low revs
No not yet i will check it for shaft play in the next few days cos it has leaked oil recently. I do have a few boost leaks just waiting for parts to get here to fix them, but its still making full boost. Its at around 2psi at 1800rpm the lag is bad under 2000rpm, but i can see it lagging a bit...
Just took my mechanic for a drive. He said it is pinging but its not the worst he's seen and i should monitor it, it could be from the remap or carbon build up in manifold. The turbo lag i have from the front mount has gotten pretty bad to so that wouldnt be helping things
Im running rumpigs remap. I was thinking something along those lines possibly even carbon build up. I have a catch can but i dont think it catches all the oil its one of those calibre ones, iv been meaning to replace it for a while now. I also have a front mount intercooler that i want to take...
