f**king sweet mate, I'm sure you were a techie, oh well! Thanks Mr PPI claim!! 

http://www.jabbasport.com/pd_turbo.php - is that the stage 2 set up you are going for? Looks sweet mate, do you now any particulars in what kind of hybrid they are fitting to the car mate?

[Dean_W]

Ain't a clue mate!!!  But yeah thats the one, minus the intercooler.

Update..............

Full milltek turbo back exhaust fitted last friday at AMD.  Big thanks to them for the quick turnaround 

Car sounds bloody good now.  Rumbles like hell on full chat and quiet when just tootling about.  Power seems to last a bit longer and the boost doesn't drop off as quick.

Just waiting for Friday now to drop it off at Jabbasport.........i think i'm gonna wee!!

Another update........

Upon checking the car over before turbo fit it appears the followers have knackered and f**ked the camshaft.....

So, Jabba have sourced a non genuine camshaft and are trying to source the followers.  Bit gutted be honest as the budget has been smashed now.  But it's a clean straight car so if it needs doing then it'll have to get done.

More to follow in a couple of days......

Gutted mate.  Was it just totally worn out and did you have chocolate cams?  Any pics?

[Dean_W]

No pics mate, just left it to them be honest.

Appears the followers deteriorated and then scored the cam to the point of it being f**ked.

I tried reply to your PM's mate, not sure if you got them, think my profile being sh!tty!  Hope your well mate

I'm just being lazy and haven't messaged you back yet mate 

I'm fitting some eibach front and rear ARBs this weekend...I'll let you know how it goes and may drop down one weekend once yours is sorted!

[Dean_W]

Yeah defo mate.  Called Jabbasport this morning, the cam had punched through one of the followers.......sh!t.....

Fingers crossed can pick it up this aft, just waiting for a phone call.

Update............

Picked the car up from JabbaSport today.  Got to go back up north for 10 days so they have let me have it back.......more below on that one!!!

Turbo is fitted, new cam and 8 followers fitted, cambelt and tensioners.  I got shown the old cam.......it's got half a lobe missing and one of the followers is dimpled to hell!!!!  Could have got very, very expensive 

New (2nd hand) intercooler fitted and a new bottom boost pipe. To solve the boost issue that they found.

BUT...............

The mapper isn't happy with the vibration the car gives off, from getting in it today I can see what he means.  Either I got used to it, or it's got worse, not too sure 

Spoke through it with Brian at Jabba and going off it struggling to start a couple of times they have put it down to the DMF has had it.  Due to this it's been mapped to about 185 as a make do solution, it did make 212 with the boost leak before they backed it off. 

I've asked them to fit a JabbaSport Single Mass Flywheel.  While they have the box off the clutch is getting changed too.  Then, it's back on the rollers for the proper map.  Fingers crossed about 220-230BHP-ish with about 380ft/lb of torque.  But we'll see......

Had nothing but trouble with the car, but JabbaSport have been great, put up with my constant mithering (sorry guys!!!) and always given me info when i've asked for it.  They found the cam issue which I was totally unaware of.  Can't recommend them enough.

More next week............
