I dunno, it looked fine to me when they assembled the turbo but it might be worth checking the spring out either way. Fkn turbo smart hey.. He said he was commanding waste gate shut at the high rpm and the boost was still dropping off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pulls and pulls until I start to think about how big the fine would be... This power level will certainly entertain me for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 4m 19d Posted 21/07/20 01:16 PM Author Share Posted 21/07/20 01:16 PM Big night just finished up 10 minutes ago, 11pm! Lower control arms, shocks and sway bar links fitted in the front and shocks and springs in the rear. The front has come up thank Christ it was dragging all over the place.Initial impressions, outstanding.. I knew the old shocks were cactus and the springs had maybe had a bit of sag over time but the difference is huge! Very composed on the road, soaks up bumps and over speed bumps it is very controlled. The old setup was true taxi spec.I still have a few things to touch up over the next few weeksUpper control armsTie rod endsSway bar bushes Wheel alignment Fun and games 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetpop Silver Donating Members 436 Member For: 4y 4m 19d Posted 23/07/20 12:31 AM Author Share Posted 23/07/20 12:31 AM Already done! I got the kit a while ago and seapped it out recently. My switch was rooted so I had to do it. A solid yet reassuring click click every time I put the ignition on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
