no air filter!?  eek!  Hope your turbo is still ok.

I'd be very cautious about disconnecting or bleeding of air to MAP sensors.  There are two MAP sensors on the city turbo, one for boost one for vacuum.  They are not there for the boost cut, that is the job of the computer.  The role of the MAP is to send an electrical signal representitive of engin...

I have a set for sale.  $75

They crack right where the wastgate valve shaft comes out of the turbine housing.  When subjected to heat, this crack expands, causing the shaft to sieze, holding the wastegate shut, or at least close to shut.  This causes the overboosting problem on the city turbo.

Yep, fuel cut is at about 16psi.  You need a Fuel Cut Defender to delete the cut.  If you are interested, i can supply you with one for $30... Email me if you are interested.

That's not too bad.  Good terminal speed, should be able to run a bit quicker going by that speed.

Where was that?

Well done!

Ive got a T1 that you can have for $1000AUD as it has a blown turbo but still runs perfectly.  Let me know...

Ive been getting qoutes lately.  For full comp on an agreed value of $5000 ive been quoted $2200 plus $3000 excess!  For 3rd party property its around $400, through shannons and just car insurance.

Sorry about the delay, ill send it tonight or tomorrow...

Yep, got mine at repco for about $40ish

Yeah, common fault.  There is a solder in the back that is faulty, just needs re heating and a bit more solder to fix.  Ive never actually bothered to do it, ive seen a step by step thing on some jap site that i cant find anymore!  :-/

Likewise, where did you get it?  Do you still need a rocker cover?

Hey Smithy, What would be happening would be that the wastegate is not opening either due to a problem with the actuator or a crack in the housing.  This causes the turbo to overboost up to about 16psi at which time the computer calls it quits and cuts the fuel.  Boost should be around 12-13psi and ...

Ive got one that you can have for free, for the mishap with the drive hub!?  

Let me know by email and ill send it up...
