been up to R-Tech today with the Golf and things haven't quite gone to plan. Initially I had a bent actuator bracket resulting in the erratic boost I've been experiencing. Then Nick found there was a lack of fuel which is more than likely the MAF on its way out, also a fair bit of lag low down which is probably the actuator needing upgrading. Really can't be spending out any more on the car in the near future so it's going to have to survive as it is probably until the new year. Can't fault how the boost feels high up in the gears though, just that lag that's annoying. Nothing seems to be going right with it recently

were all going through them patches mate. CHin up and it'll come good.
-
Like i said when you text me wes at least know you have a definate diagnosis on the causes and know whats needed to cure it expensive i know how you feel but once you sort it it'll make you happy again mate look at linz and the pain she's had also i felt bad about mine abit back all good again your turn will come :wink: good to hear you had an otherwise good day mate

Cheers guys. Hulmie have you got the Forge actuator on yours?
I decided to take my frustration out on the car on the way home by giving it some full throttle action lol
It boosts up to 18psi and holds 16psi at the mo but still has the horrible period of lag when you plant your foot. Gonna get the MAF sorted next week and go from there.
Not as bad as a certain someones weekend though :sad:

Its in a car park near the showground. Nick is going back after the show and recover it to his workshop to asses the damage. I'm hoping its just a new turbo :lipsrsealed:

Rhys - sorry to hear off your miss fortune mate. Hope you get it sorted

Well to brighten your day a certain super charged MK4 from the depths of Wales was getting beaten on the 1\4 mile by a hybrid derv :grin: but they were going to have another run after I left

I'm fairly upbeat but then I don't know the extent of the damage - its possible that the engine might be knackered.......
Blimey!! Wish I'd been there to see that! :shocked:

I will be popping back over to brunters after Top Gear and drag the car back to the workshop, I will get the turbo off tomorrow pm and inspect the pistons and valve train, by the sounds of it its only turbo seals and IC full of oil. I will get the hybrid in place.. :grin:

Just speaking to Andy and he managed to beat Chris but he's in the same boat as you now Rhyso, he blew the SC on the way home and is sitting waiting for a flat bed on the side of the M4 at Monmouth :sad:
But TG time :afro:

Did you fit it while the turbo was off?
-
yeh nick fitted the actuator when i was doing the k03s conversion but then he had to replace the spring a month later with it fitted to the car. think you can get a 2 bolts easily but the 3rd is a B!tch
-
ok well I've stopped being a doomsayer now and I've priced up the bits I need so will buying them when funds allow then get myself back up for another session of "playtime"
Also I'll be trying to pioneer the actuator change WITHOUT having to take the turbo off :laugh:
