My estate drones.....let's say it this way, everything vibrates.....then again i don't have much of a exhaust left atm. From past experiences you could try and look at your exhaust rubbers, some...
i know my manifold and hotside glow and smell a little but that is when i drive it in boost (high rpm) for long periods
Ebay turbo's is a draw of luck. Some are fine and will last a while, others are ££££, blow up and maybe even damage more then that. Also fitment/overall quality can be lacking behind. I would opt...
Today the news has been released that Bamse is stopping his project. Reason: lack of inspiration and money. Sad to see it go but no doubt he will be back in the future
