take your needlessly complicated, variable valve timing & natural aspirations elsewhere. Once you've had boost, you don't go back

Replaced the PCV valve & its rubber bush yesterday is hope of stopping some of the smoke its blowing. It didn't work

Dare say now that its coming from one of the turbos. Will pull out the joiner pipe today & see which one it is.

Also think the gearbox is getting ready to explode again. Time for another couple of weeks off the road me thinks!

Exactly. He has 2.5L of twin-turbo'd beast munching at his gearbox, not an inability to change gear properly.

Its that pesky primary input shaft bearing again. I might look into seeing if I can machine out the casing & fit a bigger/stronger one in.

Mentioned it in your other thread, absolutely interested!

Just found out Envy Imports has closed down. He's sold the shop & gone on to do other things.

In the meantime, the head mechanic there has bought a bunch of the equipment (inlcuding the dyno) and is setting up shop on the Central Coast. Not far from THE DOYLO


Oh & Toda has also shut down! He went belly up in a bad way, people have broken into the shop to get the stuff back

[Astron_Boy]

Wow, interesting development there.

Signs of the tuner scene going down?

[aza013]

Not good news at all.

[Taz]

[Vectose]

You know thats a 6a13 gasket kit right vectose?

Yes I do, because I already know the price of the 6A12 gasket kit, as I bought one
It's just that I thought Camskill had a minimum 50GBP shipping cap.

[Taz]

Fair enough, carry on sir

[kermut]
