Turbo lifespan
gords:
Well, I fitted a new coupling ring/donut thingy today ... another step in a good direction :D
It has removed that annoying jerking when accelerating from slow speed, gear changing is smother and the drive is generally smoother 8) I don't think it's done anything particular to the top end but it's certainly made it drive better and has possibly added a few mph to the top end.
The donut that I took off, when compared to a new one, was very obviously shagged :shock:
Cheers Mace :)

As the man at Tescos would say..."every little helps" :-)
I was surprised to notice such a difference in mine too. They really don't degrade in the same way as a U/J so I would imagine we all take them far beyond their useable limits before chucking them away.
Keep replacing the cheap bits Gords and you'll get a sense that you're actually achieving something. The expensive bits are harder to swallow.

--- Quote from: "Budgie" ---If you can't find anything Gord then we'll have a look at it in Belgium and try a couple of basic tweeks to the injector pump to see if it makes any difference.
You can alway put it back if it doesn't work or you find another problem. :wink:

Thank you Budgie :D
We (Budgie) made a simple, 2 minute, tweak and it's made a marked improvement :D \:D/
Coming home from Belgium, I was able to maintain/cruise at 130kph and the hills had much less of an impact! Yippie :D
Xtremeteam:
so whos gonna tell me what you did??
i made a wee tweak on sat for goin to drumclog by fitting a vent in the actuator pipe that runs from the turbo to the actuator so at low revs it breatsh out the hole keeping the actautor shut for longer till the pressure rises

/me seems to recall helping by sipping Jupiler and trying to understand what makes these engines go :-)
I now understand one thing about diesel fuelling. It's bloody complicated. However - most impressive sight of the weekend has to go to Mad George, who managed to engulf the entire site in a cloud of oil and diesel....TWICE :-)
