Was running 12psi. But the problem bing it was unreliable boost. I fluctated from anything as low as 6psi, to spikes of 15psi. It also casued to car to have the old over boost prob. I removed it and it has that sudden mid range rush at 2700rpm back... blinky blitz Newbie Group: Members Posts: 21 Member No.: 1201 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:May 4 2004, 05:34 PM that photo was taken in ipswich,but i live near the city in brisbanes south side. ive got 2 other mates with turbo telstars local too.

Does anybody have the same problem? or maybe its coz of my big cooler. i want more power even though ive beaten a Vl turbo, an SS VT V8 commodore and all these shitty Vtec hondas. zorb_rules Forum Junkie Group: Members Posts: 322 Member No.: 1812 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Aug 13 2004, 01:18 AM Hey sabbaini was just having a look at your pic of your BOV and comparing it to that of turbo boys which place is the best to mount it? I can tell right away his is easiest but yeah which place is better? FADZ I just asked you the question you put here before your profile but like u said your boost is varible so that explains what I was asking.. Still though? Are you running and after market ecu or anything?

So had to re-build whole motor - new rings & bearings, and also got the cylinder head machined because it was warpped from the heat. Also bought new clamps and hoses for it. So far i've only done 1000 k's since re-build. SABBAi Regular Poster Group: Members Posts: 131 Member No.: 918 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Oct 4 2004, 01:04 PM Take it easy for about 1500km. Then progressively give it a bit more. You may also want to do a oil and filter change about now. You'll be amazed at the amount of crap comes out after a rebuild. Depending on Were you are, there are a few exhaust places. I know that EVLTX5 likes Dandy Exhaust, and there is Ferndale Exhaust. Ferndale Exhausts & Automotive Centre Factory 2/ 1 Rushdale St Scoresby VIC 3179 ph: (03) 9764 8490 I've been to these guys a few times now. zorb_rules Forum Junkie Group: Members Posts: 322 Member No.: 1812 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Oct 4 2004, 02:17 PM Well its official I just got the rest of my exhaust finished today there goes anotherr 500 bucks I went for an even bigger dump pipe and a different hi-flow cat. So it betta be worth it SABBAi Regular Poster Group: Members Posts: 131 Member No.: 918 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Oct 5 2004, 08:46 AM Zorb, where did you get it done? Did you notice much power difference? zorb_rules Forum Junkie Group: Members Posts: 322 Member No.: 1812 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Oct 5 2004, 02:31 PM Actually eneded up goin to 2 different places one for the dump pipe and oen for the cat pretty weird huh I went to Mr Muffler for the High flow CAT cause I knew a mate that worked there and could get it cheap but I got the whole thing fitted at a place in lilydale. so yeah seems like more power i haven given it too much yet plus its got a nicer note and it a bit louder too. missy17 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 19 Member No.: 2230 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted:Oct 14 2004, 05:43 PM hey neat looking car jettx5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 6 Member No.: 2721 Status: Offline Posted:Feb 15 2005, 01:50 PM how much boost you running?
