Some shiny new bits

<< < (2/3) > >>

CWK, they look really good, if you gave the engine bay a good wash off it would look like a nice chavved up engine bay with all those shiny bits!! So does flushing the intercooler out with parafin really work?? If so I may do it with mine to try and get a bit more oomff outta my turbo.  :lol:
Cheers

As I flushed the intercooler and changed the pipes at the same time it's hard to say. The parrafin went in clear and came out looking like engine oil, so I guess the clean out can't do it any harm. I reckon the biggest gain is getting rid of the crusted top pipe. When I had my headgasket done the mechanic said my bottom end (ooh err!) was in excellent condition. He gave the head a light skin and a damn good clean and pressure tested it. So my intake system is as new now and it makes a world of difference!

The best thing for the turbo 'sound' is the snorkel!

The mantec on the disco is almost all metal so if you wind the passenger window down you can hear it a treat - does get a bit tiring after a while (old git)

AbyssDJ:
i intend to get a full size cooler ;) just got other slightly more important things to sort first! :shock:

our snorkel is all metal except for the bits of tube to join it together ;)
