thats normal in a t5 mate, its just condesation (water) on cold mornings that mixes with the oil and it goes creamy, just check your filler cap and if all black al good

Guys, Sadly, it was me who took the call yesterday to be told mark has passed. We were good friends. We lived 8 miles apart and saw each other couple of times a week and exchanged texts and calls...
real shiney that :smile:
About time you spent some time on the old girl
Yes mate, you got it right :D
Heres a diagram for ya just in case (note the short connecting pipe off the turbo is pictured upside down)
...
he has an 18t
About 4psi on the 15/16's and 7psi on the 18/19's i thought?
Sounds like a leak on the pipe somewhere if your only getting 2psi
it should be a minimum of 6psi as thats wastegate opening pressure, something is wrong, does it feel 250bhp?
UPDATE:
That's covers it.
when adam had it at first it wasnt boosting at all, didnt he have the turbo rebuilt? it should read
at idle -20 ish
turned off 0
full boost 15-16psi
it should be -20 at idle like already said, whats the problem? dump valve to vac tree simple
It should read vacuum at idle.
What bunch of numpties lol U should b getting 15-16psi boost after 3k revs if u still have mapped ecu in it.
The dv runs from the manifold (vac tree), as does the gauge. It's gonna work there but the reading may be affected by the dv moving. There's nothing wrong with this setup but its best go get the...
that reading is correct at idle, it will only go to zero when you turn it off, take it for a drive and see what it reads
No, it'll only read boost when the dump valve opens. :lol: Should be the vac tree.
its the Schrader valve on the fuel rail, you use it to de-pressure the fuel rail or testing the pressure
Yup, it's the fuel rail, I know that 'cause thats what the guy attached his Terraclean machine to.
Fuel rail bleed valve?
