At the weekend The Turbo came loose from the manifold on the M1, seems like one of the bolts had snapped holding the 2 together and then it made another one come loose.

Got the car recovered home and plonked it on the drive.

My dad played about with it through the day today while ive been at work, The manifold and turbo are now reconnected but the car wont start, it is turning over but apparently just wont kick in at all.

My ideas were an air leak or a flooded engine, my dad seems to think that there is no spark. i'll be looking at this in the morning, anyone got any ideas?

May need Sharky's mobile number by dinnertime

cheers andy, your not the only one. as soon as it happened shell went "youve done something in your engine" and i was dreading having to do the engine internals when im skint

could i ask where you got your turbo from and how much it was?

Ah I see.
You have a piggy back ecu don't you? I have sand alone which in mine so needs more tuning.
WIll have to come see your set up at some point.

yeah, running a unichip at the minute.

damn you whoever brought this thread back up, got a loose connection again today so sounding like a tractor. time to get some heat treated brass snap bolts i think



get to the brum meet steve, you know you want to
