Hi, just thought i`d show you what i have bin up to the last two month \:\)

After the seals went on my standard turbo i thought i would upgrade \:\/ so i got my hand`s on a stage one gp turbo`s hybrid.
Unfortunatley on my way to pick it up the coup blew the ringlands off piston 2 °\( the oil had buggered up the lambda sensor and i also had a badly split boost pipe \:mad\:

So the car goes in to the garage and i try an source some pistons, decide to go for wossners from P,E,C,
wossner forged pistons 1

wossner forged pistons 2


fitted pistons



full gasket set

So it all goes back together, but the day i pick it up it`s smoking a bit!!! must be crap in the exhaust from the engine failure \:\? ran her steady for 150mile and still smoking \:\( so back it goes, turbo off and the seals have gone after 150 mile!! loads of play too...
So i now have x3 fccuked turbos \:D

triple turbo`s

So turbo has gone to turbo dynamics for a refurb
I`m aiming 300 bhp so i have bought a charge cooler to go with my pace side mount \:\) have a gtec2 to go in too.
Also fitting some decent rubber \:\/
pirelli p zero corsa`s

or thease \:\)
Can`t wait to get her back to good health and get her dyno`ed
