  1. Haven't yet, i've got to see an air con bloke today but i'm gonna make an appointment to see them next week. I've just changed all the pipes round to the correct way, hopefully this'll tell me more. I'll keep updating here for future reference. I have also noticed a switch in the centre glove box as if it had an electronic TTC done??? Don't know why though...
  2. Don't know, i assume it's not good then... I've cleaned it all out now and i'll keep a check on it to see how bad it actually is. The bloke who had it before me had messed with all the setup so i'm resetting it and i think my BOV is knackered but after looking at diagrams i'm not sure where it is! I'll get a new one as soon as i've figured it out. Hopefully the turbo's are ok. They seem to be boosting fine and i get no funny noises so i'm hoping it's just the BOV and the crappy way he had it set up. Wish i'd noticed it before i bought it really i just got the new supra excitement and things got overlooked Silly me!!!
  3. Thanks mate, already bought blue hoses in anticipation today so i'll fit them in tomorrow Thanks for the diagram.
  4. Glad to hear you're both ok, i agree... Buckle up. I spent years taking the risk because it was cool... Seeing things like this make you grow up and think about safety! Get well soon
  5. Thanks for all the advice, is there any links about showing the correct way the pipes should be? I'll get it done asap and replace the pipes with nice colourful ones at the same time
  6. Not too bad mate, nice to hear from someone local! I think i may have seen you last night if you were heading up the A30 towards Staines. The one i saw the night before defo had a TRD spoiler though. See one just like yours as i say last night though. Lovely car looking at your garage pics
  7. Saw you last night while i was waiting for a bus at the top of my road. Turned into the sliproad on the A30 between clockhouse roundabout & Ashford hospital (Orchid Way) and turned around on to the otherside of the A30. Drove right past me and i was staring at you as you passed. Lovely looking car.
  8. Anyone got any ideas on this, i'm going to the garage tomorrow and i don't want them to take me for a ride. I don't really know anything when it comes to the turbo setup so i'd be inclined to believe anyone in greasy overalls I have cleaned it all up and had a look under the outside of the filter after driving it around a bit and there is no new oil so i think this has been building up for a while if that helps at all. Oh and
  9. Love em!! Seen them 3 times this year! Radio 1's big weekend, Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution and at Reading! Didn't disappoint once
  10. I've been in the same situation for 10 years and for the past 4 months we've been happily together. I had to see her with other blokes and she saw me with other women it was always hard for me but i never knew it was hard for her too. Maybe if you just get on with things she'll miss you. It worked for me... If you let it get to you it will show and women don't seem to find that attractive. There are loads of similarities in your story to mine but i won't go into all of them. I just came to terms with the fact we would only ever be good friends and that's when she came running to me! Just a bit of personal experience, if it helps at all...
  11. Hi everyone i've been noticing that although i have a standard BOV i get a loud whooshing noise with every gear change and it quite long and drawn out unless i'm gunning it then the noise sounds right. I put the louder noise down to the HKS induction thing that's on there but all i have to compare it with is the memory of my other Supe. That's what started me poking around and in doing so i found the following: Not 100% sure but i think this might be a true twin conversion but i thought i'd check before trying to reset anything back to normal. There also seems to be oil on the turbo heat sheild, it's dried like it was a while ago but i thought i'd throw a picture of it in as it's under the pipe i'm asking about. I also saw some oil like stuff on my induction cone, not loads but after looking around on here i saw that it could be bad or normal so i took it off there is a little oil puddle inside there. Not sure if the BOV is knackered or what. I've put a picture of that in below if anyone can tell me if to panic or not. Sorry for the long post but i wanted to be as precise as possible because i don't like messing around when it comes to the turbos! Thanks for reading. Ben
  12. Thanks i will give them a shout. Nah i'm in Ashford, Middlesex. Right next to Heathrow, Thanks anyway:)
  13. Anyone know any good mechanics around the Heathrow area? I'm actually in Ashford just outside Heathrow but i need someone to have a look at the rattling noise in my wheel it's driving me mad! I Also need an Air Con specialist in the same area. So if anyone has had any good work done in this area let me know where to go. Thanks, Ben
  14. Donation sent, hope everything works out mate.
  15. How much boost will that give it???
  16. if you have the IP address you can enter it on this site and it gives you the info on who it is etc... Don't really know much about hacking or anything but i found this while looking for a similar thing. Hope it helps http://www.geektools.com/whois.php

  18. Most entertaining and it makes it look as if i'm busy working when the ever watchful eye of the boss is upon me LOL

    Lame joke

    Just been sent round my office, can't say i've heard that one before
  20. I had this on my old Supe and it turned out to be the (forgive the lack of technical terms) big pipe at the front that comes out the front of the engine, opposite side to the turbo's, and down behind the rad. Not sure what it's called or where it goes but i tightened the clip holding it on and got all my boost back. You could hear air wooshing out of the pipe when you rev the engine that's how i discovered it.
  21. I'd be up for something like this, don't really get the opportunity to come to any other meets but if i knew far enough in advance i'd tag along
