Water leak bottom of turbo, ie Water feed to turbo pipe had split!

Thank God the car was Stationary in my garage when it happened. What a SH&T job to do replace a small piece of hose.

Lucky enough i had a spare water hose off my spare engine lol.

Tell me about it lol, Honestly it's gettin a real nice car now, and bloody rapid, just all the weak links are going as the boost and miles rack up.

She's gettin there, but costing me a furtune, i'm leaning alot though.

I reckon she stands me in at 2,5K lol hey hoy cant stop now tho right? lol

[smithson007]

Yes should be well worth it en the end mate. Need to get myne running now. Ever since we found the BCS was plumbed up wrongly and put it right she aint be running right. Now when a nail it she wont bost properly sometimes then other times shes fine. time to start spending some pennys.

Theyre addictive once you start playing about with them. Lol.

Put a Mbc in, and do away with the bcs, but leave it plugged in or it will through a cel.

Just get a cheap 1 to try 1st, see what happens.

[smithson007]

Yes was kind of thinking along those lines. Im sure it's got to be something to do with the BCS as it was running fine before hand unless the extra boost has shown up a few other problems. Going to do plugs, leads, dizzy cap and arm at weekend. Cant find any recent history of these been done.

I had that happen on my old T5 - mercifully I had just pulled onto the drive. Stupid place to have a hose because it suffers incredible heat.

No buddy, although i had to renew the steel pipe as well as mine was bent, But if your just replacing the Rubber part its fiddly but ok if you take your time.
