So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.

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.

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

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.
