205 dt sleeper, engine in :)

Had a bit of a hiccup when I decided to tighten the wastegate arm on the actuator. I'd manage to flatten the thread on the arm.

So I had to take the actuator off and take it to work to fix it. I ended cutting the flattened part off and threading the "eyelet" back on which resulted in 31 psi of boost through the poor turbo when I turned up the fuel up!

Needless to say it felt rather rapid at this point, only downside is the top mount interwarmer was hot enough to fry an egg on! (As i had not fitted the front mount)

I sourced a fmic adapter as the sale of the Xantia manifold fell through

Next modification was to get rid of the restrictive fuel filter setup and increase the banjo size.

Ordered a 10mm banjo off ebay and a 10mm fuel filter.

My reason for doing this is the inlet hose to the bosch pump is around 7mm in diameter and if you are running veg oil becomes a bit restrictive.



Off came the fuel filter housing



The new fuel filter and banjo setup



The difference is night and day, it doesnt feel strangled up the rev range and pulls considerably better!

I thought i'd get rid of the plastic pipe which feeds the intake of the turbo and replace it with a less restrictive setup (eventually)

I bought a reducer 90' bend off of Ebay and a bit of flexi hose and an air filter. Excuse the long flexi hose it's a temporary measure while I get the FMIC sorted.
