the gasket needs to be made so that you have to bolt through it, if you understand me.
how thick is your plate, if it's not thick enough it will blow out.

Yes i was thinking that the gasket should be full sized...... the plates not very thick, but was all i had.... it did bend the 3 corners as i tightened it up but looking around the top of it the rubber is compressed.
I dont have any goo to put on it, so im going to have to find some thicker plate and make a new gasket i think

you know what funny bit is not sure where it goes fully, think i got a good idea but what u do with the recirc valve? also it says on the website: (Only recommended when installing an alternative valve.) that important n whats it mean?

you just swap it, it bolts directly onto the turbo 3 bolts, undo the three and the re-circ will pull out and just swap it for the blanking plate then fit a dump valve

They say having turbo stall puts strain on the turbo, but ive known cars to be fine with them just blocked off for thousands of miles with no troubles, however the stall isnt such a great thing, i can feel the turbo having to spool up again.
I am looking at fitting a dump valve once the plates sorted.
You can get dump valves that dont make so much noise but keep you spooled up.

A dump valve is there for a reason if you take the original out you should fit another Imo

Its the air blowing back out past the turbo that makes the noise in this instance, but yeah does sound sweet

I agree there frankie, the recirculation valve was there to stop the stall.... i can feel the car doesnt really like it, however im not going to bother fitting the valve until the plates right, its not really a big problem with the way i drive it.

i just cut a 2mm plate and slid it under recirc valve...............works a treat........

did you do this without removing the engine mount or leaning the turbo back?
it was so tight just getting the plate on... dred to think what it would b like putting the valve back on lol

you shouldn't feel any difference in spool time on the 15g or 16t, you might feel it with an 18 or 19t.

i fitted the plate on my 19t before i got the turbo fitted, but no problems with it spooling at all

yes, nothing else removed only recirc valve..........use a 10mm ratchet spanner as access is a little tight................have a couple of spare bolts handy as its easy to drop them when refitting and as usual you can never find the one you drop

Tell me about it lost 2 twice! nightmare, ive got quite big hands and it was so fiddly. couldn't get any other bolts to catch a thread, so had to find the originals
Ive made a new one today with some 3mm better grade plate (bartered the local engineering shop for a big piece for 3 quid if anyone wants one)
and made a new gasket. its definitely going to be sorted now.
Driving it today with less boost was crap.
I also fitted up a filter i had lying around to improve the noise
Going to use the standard box for now, until i have the materials to make something similar to wobbly's.... a little bracket in the box will do for now, needs to run right first!
