Top man.

The vids are the icing on the cake. Marvellous.

Thanks very much - stirling work.

Robert - I think you're right about the boost leak on the van, there's definitely something that you can hear now I've had a chance to listen to the vid from the front of the car. I'll investigate. Maybe the water injection bottle seal is leaking - its right at the front of the engine. Somut's not right - it was 20 brake down on the day.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Will have a play this weekend and see if I can get her wound up without the hissing noise.

Tempted to get a new DV at Merlin tomorrow whilst attending the Charity Day at Combe. I've had the current rubber diaphragm cheapie job since about 2003.

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Just coincidence but when I took the engine and gearbox out this week I found one of the clips on an I/c hose was loose which accounts for the hissing noise I have been getting on full boost,too.

Yes for Sure that would make the hissing sound mate.

Have to say, the TM RR day was a great way of identifying I had a boost leak. It's clearly audible in Johns video of the van.

On top of going to the Charity Day at Combe today, I've fitted a new piston dump valve today and isolated the boost signal to the water injection tank.

As you say Tadge, I'll also check the intercooler hoses for clip security.

Have a trade stand at Malvern tomorrow so will try the van on the way to work next week.

Fingers crossed.

Just looking over these videos again I've only just seen theres another twink turbo. Is there a build thread for it anywhere? Failing that does anyone know what turbo it has on it?
