Hey all, who here has installed the eBay tt silicone turbo inlet? I'm looking to install mine fairly soon and would like to get as much info as possible before I start, I have read Rosssubs guide on how to do it but I'm just looking for more input.
Will I need to remove primary turbo (easiest way to), drain all of the coolant, other useful tips and tricks I should know before, things like that, thanks.
Gaps are not dirty at all... small gap towards the grille but people exaggerate the problems with fitting them..
The gap is filled in by the weather stripping so it's not even noticeable
If they only click when turning and there is no noise while driving straight it's the cv joint (one or both). Being that a boot was ripped it means that grease has escaped and dirt has entered, which will almost certainly lead to damage.
usually wheel bearings will make noise at all times and not just when turning
For me my primary is about 13psi and secondary about 16-17. That's with the hose 10 mod. Mine doesn't limit at all if it's not at operating temp but I very often stay away from boost when it's still cold.
Actually keys are not chipped, I had read they were as well. had a basic metal copy made yesterday with no issues.
this makes adding a remote start a lot simpler.
But also partsouq.com is a great site. Shipping is only about 2 days and you can get almost anything you are looking for. Including the smallest bolts. All for much cheaper than at a dealer Would charge. I'm in Canada as well
Hey I will be installing my remote start pretty soon. Do you know if these cars have chipped keys? I have heard from different sources yes and no. If not it wounds name my install a lot easier.
Also what did you use for a tach signal so the so the system knows when to kill the starter?
Ok I'll check them out, but i dont think ill be doing the coolant bypass for obvious reasons lol. I replaced the intercooler hoses and my shifter bushings as well as knuckle. Noticed intake noise is quite a lot louder, especially with he resonator in the fender removed. The bushings were a pain to do even with a hoist.
I was wondering whether cleaning the differential pressure sensor by the intercooler would do any good, what's your opinion?
Ok, I'm already looking into that, preferably ebc. Also with regards to the turbo inlet, what other things do you recommend replacing while everything else is apart?
So I cleaned the BCS today and it seemed to help with the little lag. It no longer hangs at 0 for 1-1.5 seconds and only just slightly pauses on it for less than 0.5 seconds or so. Boost is much quicker to build back up after a shift as well.
Hey ross, I noticed you put a 1mm restrictor pill into hose 2 in the BBOD, would I gain anything from this if I tried it out?
