Picked up the supra turbo that was on sale at mv cars at Glasgow, for £4995 not a thing wrong with it L reg, no smoke on start up engine is sweet as a nut i filled it up about £60 and it only used half that coming back to Newcastle from Glasgow well impressed as my previous car a astra coupe turbo used the same ammount over that distance, no problems with the car on the way home, expect i got caught in a thunder storm about 30 minutes from home so had to drive at about 20 mile and hour all the way.

 

First time ive been in and owned a tt and i must say im well impressed when that second turbo comes on you can really feel it shifting.

Yeah, that's normal. Anything less than boiling itself to death is shown as mid-point on the gauge. Seems like the gauge only has 3 positions.

Has it got a boost gauge fitted?

If you really feel the second turbo kicking in, it could be that it's running a lot of boost --- best check before you find out the hard way.

 

I would refrain from pushing the car before all fluids have been changed with fresh stuff. (maybe it's just me though, lol...)

Any reason why i should take it off, im new to the tunning game, am i loosing power with it on, or is it possibly causing damage to the car.

 

sorry if this sounds silly i jsut dont want to cause any damage to the car
