  1. Try replacing the EGBV hoses in a hurry, you'll not be best friends with it then! lol
  2. All actuators working fine, all VSVs and actuator valves working fine. Also checked the 2nd turbo to see if the exhaust housing was cracked. Tried to get the intake section off #2 but the bolts ain't coming off without a bit of help, and that help can't fit in that small space! (many thanks to Greg @ Turbofit for talking me through it today!) Guess I've got to bite the bullet and get some quotes for fitting the 2nd turbo - I just haven't got time myself, as well as a having a crappy gravel drive and even crappier jack
  3. Give Bijal @ Future Motosports a shout mate, he's over Leicester way, or Fensports generally do next day delivery
  4. Gee, well done him! Somebody's got a bargain!
  5. Dent in n/s/r qaurter - shopping trolley (long dent!) 1 or 2 dents in drivers door Badly painted and crap fitting bumper (don't have the cash to get it sorted yet!) Dodgy handsfree aerial on the back windscreen that some muppet put right in front of the washer Dents and scratches to the underneath of the side-skirts Stupid red reflector things on the spats Goddam stone-chips, repaired with a Halfrauds kit only to find it was a different shade The list goes on and on!
  6. lol, unfortunately I have mate. Lack of time and asent-mindedness are the culprits! That and the fact I actually quite like the standard suspension. I presume y mounts you mean the twisty-turny-up-and-down bit? Not a problem on the TRDs - the aluminium (I think) platform either raises to 15, 25 or 35mm drop but you need to compress the springs to change them.
  7. Silent Hi-Power is nice (I would say that though! ) Certainly not silent, but has a real nice growl to it.
  8. I've got a 2nd hand pair of TRD coilovers I bought from Nic. Was planning on fitting them this week but could do with the money for repairs now
  9. I've got the Innovate WB kit I bought from TRD3000GT on here - lovely looking bit of kit. Not fitted it yet though.
  10. Bob

    Cam gears

    Yeah, they earn him money!
  11. ebay. Or for a bit extra, I could make you one in my garage - guaranteed no fit at all
  12. Not really that bad. Well it is, but don't want to offend anyone that lives there! Our site was about 20 yards from where the copper was stabbed to death by the canal. One tip though - if you fancy a pint, avoid the pub just off the Salford Circus roundabout. Not nice.
  13. I'm sorted for a VSV now thanks
  14. Ah, Gravelly Hill. What a lovely place. I spent a whole year there doing concrete repairs to the underside of the M6 viaduct, to stop everything falling over. Who'd you piss off to be sent there?
  15. EGBV VSV checked and cleaned and EGBV pipes all OK. Reinstalled VSVs with new pipes where necessary and took her out for a spin. Still fubar'd. I checked readings mre carefully, and I'm getting 0.5bar boost from turbo 1, but not til around 3200 revs. When turbo 2 should come online, boost drops - but seems to be present at roughly 0.1bar?! The auto box also seems to playing silly-buggers now; it's not changing down or up where normally it would. Still no smoke, but some fluttery sounds still audible. HELP!!!
  16. Ben, would you split the VSVs? I could do with the wastegate VSV on its own
  17. The wastegate VSV seems like it's dodgy. Variable resistance ranging from 196 to 1k ohms (even after pins had been cleaned and filed), no ground to the body, and leaking between ports. However, when I blew through it and switched the 12v across it, it switched perfectly. Taking th ereadings again, there was no leakage and resistance was down to 24 Ohms - loose connection possibly? Too much crap inside? :edit: Holy shite! The wastegate VSV is £220 from Toyota!
  18. THE EGCV VSV is showing a resistance across the pins of 41.6 Ohms, there's no grounding to the body, and it's switching properly with no leakage. So it's not that.
  19. Small update! The Wastegate VSV and EGCV VSV are out and sitting in front of me, and I'm gonna check them in accordance with the manual once I figure out where I put it . . . The EGCV actuator looks fine and still moves smoothly. I have replaced the rubber hoses to the wastegate and EGCV actuators and the surrounding vacuum hoses, as they had gone brittle and cracked at the ends.
  20. Thank you gents, this is now sold. I shall rememeber how courteously you all tried to fuck up my 'for sale' thread
