My luck is on the turn.
Turbo Mini Forums

And it's about effin time.

After last weeks miserable conclusion crashing, knackering my turbo blah blah and my cars shite showing at avon.

I've sorted it.

A big thanks to everyone who offered help both on here and at the showdown.

There was a couple of things wrong, little piffy things but they needed sorting non the less, fuel pressure too high, air leak on the inlet, missing plastic poppit plug but still the tight fart noise remained.

This is where working on it all day until 4 in the morning and the blind determination to get it sorted is well worth the bollocking from her in doors when i get home.

THE PROBLEM WAS???



No oil, or very little oil getting to the top end and to the turbo, not sure what happend to the braided hose from the oil cooler back to the block but it has somehow crushed inside. I removed the cooler replaced the pipe from the filter with the solid type and hey fooking presto oil to the rockers and no fart noises anywhere.

I might have a quid on the lottery this week because to get away with no apparent damage to engine or turbo I reckon my luck's in.
Until I get home at least.

I am nobody, nobody's perfect. Therefore I am perfect

great, REMEMBER! many little problems stack up to make a shed of a car sort them each one at a time and your there.

yes have that quid on the lotto ......
