kash Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Just got my car Supra MKIV back from the insurance approved body shop and they've made a real mess of things !!! On the clock it only looks as if they drove it 5 miles... but I suspect they drove it much more and fiddled with the clock!!! For a start they didn't put the door on properly... u can hear alot of road noise when u get to 60 mph... alot more than usual. Then they managed to damage my side skirts (which they kind of denied ), the toyota badge at the front is missing, but worst of all my turbo seems to have messed up. I drove it about a mile down the road when I picked it up (and I wasn't driving the car hard at the time) and all of a sudden I heard a sound similar to blow off valve and then the turbos started to make a louder woshing noise (not a wistle any more) but no boost seemed to be going into the engine!!! Does anyone know what the problem could be???? I suspect that the inlet from the Turbo to the engine has blown? or do u think it is something more serious? The turbos seem to start at the right revs but I have no extra boost in the engine.... Do u reckon it is still safe to drive my car untill the problem is fixed (I don't want any more damage done)? Also does anyone have any idea just how much it'll cost to fix.. parts & labour? I told my insurance company (Bell Direct) about what I think they've done to my car!!! said they'll withhold their payment until they sort my car out & if I have problems they may take them off their registerd list of repaires... right now I am really cheesed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like the I/C pipe has blown off - nowt to worry about Just follow the piping around - more than likely it's the connector down just below the battery tray Take it off and refit using decent clips or it will happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 Just had a quick look at the pipes below the battery tray... they seem to be connected. Any other ideas? should I look at any more other pipes? has anyone got any diagrams/pictures of pipes that I should be looking at for my jspec mkiv tt? Cheers, Kash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 It may not be obvious at first glance - you really have to follow the I/C piping all the way round Take the battery off - and tray out (a 5 min job) and feel all the way round Then check the piping where it dissapears into the side bodywork drivers side etc Cant think of anything else - then phone the garage and give em f***ing hell for being cowboys! You cant drive without boost really (unless to limp home) It really will be this - keep looking:thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
