    wastegate stuck open

    Gah! got my car back with a ct9 hybrid fitted, but the boost hadn't been set. Adjusted the actuator several times no problem, then tried once more - unhooked it, the wastegate flopped open, turned it a notch tighter, then tried to close the wastegate -it was completely stuck! tried to get it up...

    Help me ID this hybrid ct9

    I needed a new turbo, was thinking i'd get a rebuilt CT9 that would last a while, then saw this advwertised and thought I might as well put in a bid. It is currently being fitted, so informed the insurance company. In the past they've been fine about mods, even the turbo conversion was no...

    A Very sad day.

    TBH I think rory has a good point. When I saw "a very sad day" I was expecting to read of someone's death, then I read the first post and thought you must have cancer or something. Later posts suggest you are merely a criminal who got caught. Of course this may well not be the case, but your...

    yeah that's dodgier than a Dodge collector's garage. the usual giveaway is poor english. this is better than the usual standard, but still - "If we do not receive the appropriate account verification within 48 hours, then we will assume this PayPal account is fraudulent and will be suspended."...

    Whats the most disgusting thing youve done today?

    I went for a shit earlier. Trouble was I was in the pub, there was a guy right in front of me as i went and he got the only cubicle. Maybe he's just a shy pisser, i think, but the sound of a seat touching down followed by the sound of a belt buckle clunking apart suggest that the bastard is...

    tell me an amazing fact

    You'll have to excuse me being a little sketchy on details, i heard this a while ago... One of the most bizarre maritime incidents occured off the coast of japan when a fishing boat sunk after being struck by a cow. The cow had been sold and was being transported by cargo plane when it broke...

    Tragic loss to the starlet world : RIP Dave Burwash!

    My engine was built by dave and darren, it's run beautifully ever since. met him when I collected it, seemed like a very nice guy. the whole motor enthusiast community is poorer for his loss. Thoughts go out to Darren and family, RIP.

    Wow, what an annoying woman. There was a particularly bizarre comment - "at least on a rollercoaster you go somewhere"... does she know what a rollercoaster is?

    Jerky spooling

    Fixed it! After much time spent changing the fuel filter and then bypassing the BOV, I spotted a hole in the hose going to the map sensor. It was an inch or so from the top so I simply snipped the top inch or so and bob's yer uncle. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!

    Jerky spooling

    I thought the same thing rev, though not sure if it'd effect the engine wth the wastegate open, but i'd have thought it would. Nonetheless i've got one but not had a chance to fit it. here'shoping we're both on the money...

    Jerky spooling

    It's got brand new plugs and leads, didn't help. Did once have a problem with corroded plugs before, and it's a very similar effect. Don't think it's fuel cut because it doesn't do it at full boost and turning actuator down doesn't help. Plus I've had fuel cut before and it's a lot harsher than...

    Jerky spooling

    When accelerating uphill, the car jerks quite unpleasantly, in a manner similar to fuel cut though less violent. Once it passes about 3500rpm (or reaches full boost?) it accelerates smoothly. I wondered if it was a spark plug issue as they've been in need of replacing for a while, but a new...

    Twats in charge of the UK.

    Bear in mnd that Japan has a much better economy than us (the world's third biggest), even now. They also have an inferior welfare state which allows them to spend more money on infastructure while those below the poverty line have little chance of escape. that said, the current twats in...
