Excellent, I'll give him a try.

It's been a while since I posted on here, I've just bought myself a hyperion blue 2.2 coupe with a smashed rear end.. So I'm in need of a rear bumper and if the price is right, a bootlid too. Cash waiting, located near Southampton but I will travel if needed.

Happy easter everyone!

Intercooler arrived today, many thanks

Does it misfire if revved from idle? Also is it mapped?

^this. Much easier to pull hard if you're confident that you'll keep your face in one piece

I buy from the motorfactors, they're good quality and a H4 bulb is something like £2.50

Halfords is the funniest, £19 for the same damn bulb

ideal, price posted?

Do you have the intercooler? Assuming it's leak free?

Has it always been "loud" on boost? Like low ish revs through town with the window down you can hear it quite well.

Basically I blocked the air intake and then used a bike innertube over the top if the intercooler with the valve sticking out. I'll take pictures at some point.

I'll replace the cooler and see what happens

I've noticed the last couple of days that my bus seems a bit laggy and lacking low down, and also that there is more turbo noise than I'd expect. Once above the 2krpm mark, she pulls well, but get the wrong gear and it's embarrassingly slow, feels very laggy. So tonight I had a look under the bonnet...

So it's the outer end that's gone? It's not really that bad a job to access it "properly", it requires 2 people to fit the stretch type boot though, it's a job of many innuendos

Yeah, thanks for that. I'm not having any issues really, its only happened the once. I'll fix it at some point

Yeah, Steve is great. I've had some maps from him and they are very good
