Hi again all, im sorry its taken me so long to update the thread, i just dont seem to be able to find time lately!!
Anyhow, for those of you that dont know, my Puma made it to and from Ford Fair for the first time without the need of a tow!! A huge acheivment for me! :lol: I also managed to steal some trophies!!
And here's me looking like a doosh, and Alan when we got our trophies!
And here is a pic i think Cartman took of my car on the stand
The car has been off the rd for a few weeks as i mapped in some popping on overrun and ive blown the turbo gasket to smithereens!!
So ive brought an uprated cometic copper gasket, hopefully that will do the trick, and if not im going to try a different manifold flange and turbo hot side.
While it was off the rd, my good friend Mr E. Coyote got this custom made for me, im VERY pleased with the way it came out!!
The car is all back on the rd now, ive put a V-band flange in the downpipe to make turbo removal easier in the future, it took me a whole day to remove the turbo and manifold because i had to remove the drivers side shaft, drain gear oil, centre shaft, shaft bearing carrier, drain gearbox oil, drain coolant, remove radiator, remove engine mount so i could move the engine forward, remove lower strut brace and wishbone, and remove intercooler pipes! But now i can remove it from the top so most stuff can stay in next time!
Needs a retune and hopefully ill be able to post up some vids!
