The Racetractor. The End.

[Piggy]

So the sun came out and I had half a day free. So got stuck in to whipping the turbo off.

Thought I would time myself... 6minutes and 21seconds!
gotta love gearbox mounted turbos!

Glad really as I removed/refitted/removed as it wasnt just the gasket. A weld had broken. So ground all the welds back and did them again and reinforced them.

Gave me chance to clean n paint the metal supports and vac can bracket. so they should look better for it.

Also found the vanes to be rather coked up and thus causing the sticky points in their movement. So simple fix. Also pleased to find no oil in hot side and still perfect amount of shaft play despite it having overboosting and choo'd a lot due to control issues.

So next step will be refit the painted parts and start testing the arduino system for why she isnt bringing the boost under control.

And now only one more bit to get I think for the march diet.
