Thanks Bill.

Two questions for you please......
My RamAir - is exactly the same as one for an LCR - except the LC kit has a reducer ring for the MAF? (Mine fits the S3 Maf housing ok without the ring)

Does the ABS body (the black cylinder that faces towards the turbo) get hot? The reason I ask is that the rubber on the ATP tip touches it).

Did you repair your intake with Plumbers mate? Thats a soft non setting putty..??
Surely you used something that sets ddin't you? A nice chunk of plumbers mate wont do your turbo much kop at 100krpm! !

Plumbers Mait is a brand name. Although I do have a tub of the soft, putty like stuff, I used the repair stuff that sets hard as metal. It's handy, it will even set where it's wet. I made a permanent repair on an immersion cylinder a couple of years ago that would have cost £££ to replace otherwise.

Sorry. I'll just finish this glass (cough - bottle ) of wine and I'm off. There wasn't that much left in it, honest.

Ok, I'm up and ready for action...

 

[wild willy]

oh no, looks like DPJ is at the more delicate stage of his tuning today.
Personally i'd stick with the dremel.

 

[DPJ]

Currently taking great care over making up the oil and water connections on the turbo (not yet on the car).

 

[DPJ]

Oil/ Water connections seem good.

m0rk, here's the reason the end of the charge pipe looked black - gasket, amd a restrictively fitted one at that.

A little remedial work...

lunch time update? c'mon dave no time for sandwiches, get typing!

 

[DPJ]

Quick cuppa then


It's hell out there! It's pissing it down and the wind keeps blowing the ****ing pergola away.

ATP manifold back in and torqued up. Just torquing the turbo to manifold and turbo to DP fixings.

 

[myk3]

you got all the lines in and attached?

It's a bit like Dave of the Antarctic.

Scott, Wilson, Oates - not one of them called Dave....

Did you know all polar bears are left-handed and are called Dave?

 

[DPJ]

Rain's stopped play.

It's too bad out there at the moment.

yes same as you say aside from reducer.
ABS should not run hot no - touchy things tend to rub thru however..
