spiderpigcity Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 i was going down the road tonight at about a ton, then a massive bang. lost all boost. turbos where spinning really loud and felt like i had about 100 bhp. i thought my turbos had shot out my exhaust and down the road, thats what it sounded like. rang my mate up in dispare. he said bring it round we will have a look. after 20 mins of checking every single hose and wire we found it. the pipe had come off the hks intercooler inside the drivers side wing. thank god for that. i thought i was in for a bill for 2 new turbos. anybody else had this before? anybody know what kind of pressure is going through the intercooler at full boost? matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've had the pipe that leads to the plenum pop off a few times in the past - after bunrning my hands I invested in one of those Halfords mini socket sets. Physics says that boost pressuer is going to me *more or less* equal throughout the system in any given moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Lost all power due to a loose connection in the RLTC set-up while driving around a sweeping corner at about 60. I wrestled the car to stop with no harm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 in my first supra, losing the backend on a dual carriageway in my first winter of ownership. This sent me spinning round over a bridge where I just kissed the barrier and had a minor paint scratch. A little more speed or in the other lane and no more WSB2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 most scary - The closest i came to crashing, after 6 months of ownership on my NA, Made a wrong turning last summer so U turned in a junction. booted it out as i was a bit pissed off and the rear stepped out... a long way. i recovered it ok but lifted off and it flipped back and my drivers side rear hit the curb and ripped the tyre off the rim. luckily it was a low 45deg curb so the car just bumped up onto the grass. Scared the shit out of me as it was hot and sunny at the time and i was going uphill. Most fun - About a month ago i went to get a subway at 2am. It wasnt raining but it was damp, turned out of the sidestreet where i parked in my TT onto one of the main roads near the town center and accelerated gently. The rear stepped out and i went down the highstreat sideways for what felt like about 5 mins. But it was probably more like 3 seconds . I held it perfectly unfortunately the traction control kicked in and slowly braught it into line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
