If you had OCD then that self tapper hole would mean you have a brand new trim stashed somewhere :grin:

I got it back, i'm so happy, I really missed it.  :smiley:

Everything is sorted out now

new waterpomp, clutched modded alternator pulley, new serptine belt. Raised boost, advanced pump timing, lda is now at it's max. And NO black smoke. :tongue:

Drives awesome, tons of low end torque, good midrange and enough top end (she keep pulling to about 5000rpm). Turbo spool up @ about 1500rpm, max boost @ 1700rpm.

Really good engine package now. We could go more extreme but a oilcooler would be needed. Had my oil up to 115°C/240°F when doing 100+ mph on the highway for about 15 minutes, that's fine, being on full boost all the time. GPS confirmed topspeed of 191km/u or 121 mph. Plenty fast for a mk2.
