it was all going so well... got it all put to gether, plumbed in the spray kit but nor wired it in, bumper on, arch liners and wheels back on. went for a drive and took it easy, car felt really good so started giving it some stick, was going ok and no boost leak. turned round and on the final straight entering the vilage...
BOOOFF!!!
pipe jumped off. have to take it all to bits again...
i think i'll get away with just taking the wheel and arch liner out so hopefully it's not that bad. it was the pipe that was leaking before.
DUCT TAPE!!! knowing you, you'll get it sorted in no time.

the pipe that popped off was the one that was leaking before and it was the tape that slipped off the pipe. took it off and butchered it a bit so that the ends of it are more flared... also tightened all the clamps some more and bust one , got some big hose clamps from B&Q and put them on as well as re-inforcement. lol
took it out for a drive and all seemed well, for now! . holds boost fine with no leaks and gave it some welly and a few spikes and all good...
pictures from saturdays capers...
found my trolley jack... lol
hawk wanted to watch this time.
the leaky pipe.
wrapped the steel pipe (was getting rusty) and covered it in tech wax (not the ends though ) to help keep it clean.
now for the fun. bought some bathroom sealing rubbery strip stuff from B&Q to put round the outside of the silicone pipes to hopefully help give the clamps some more bite.
all back together.
and now for the ghetto-fab shizzle!
mounted the sprayer bottle with abit of pole i found in the garden and bolted it to the horn mounts. lol
and to help fill it up, a bit of hose going up to the top of the bay to pour the ware down... =D> lol
sprayers.
while the wheels were off, i cleaned them on the inside - before. mingin!!
after.
should of clayed them to get all the crap out.
that's it for now until another hose pops off! lol

#101: Re: Twed's 207 GT HDi - FMIC install 4 - 16/8/10 Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 7:52 am ---- does it make a noticeable difference without a remap? Any more lag or not?
#102: Re: Twed's 207 GT HDi - FMIC install 4 - 16/8/10 Author: twed207, Location: borders, near carlisle.Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 8:14 am ---- cant really notice any lag TBH mate. might be half a second, not even that. the VNT turbo does a good job of keeping lag to a minimum.
performance wise, i think it's made it a little quicker... it certainly feels it, but it might just be me! lol
