Hey Guys, really appreciate all your comments and heads up! Sorry i havent gotten back to you all sooner.
Ive agreed with one of my mates to split the payment for a stock fmic, since we both will be needing one to get our cars registered. In terms of making it look "stock", Ive also ordered an intake box for the pod filter.By the looks of it, thankfully, this car has been kept relatively stock.
Unfortunately, since posting this topic I've run into a few issues.
The "bigger" (ebay) turbo siezed on the drive home from my mechanic after getting a list of things to fix. So, that has since been replaced with a standard gtst turbo and confirmed working
As I was waiting for a new turbo, i decided to test comp. it came back with some not so pleasing results... readings from cylinder 1-6 are as follows, 100, 95, 98, 90, 100, 98 😐 granted this may be due to the fact that the engine was cold and no oil was put into the cylinders. Either way seems like a pretty tired engine and looks like it may be due for a rebuild 🙁
Here comes the fun part tho. Found out my horn wasnt working and tl:dr now my car wont crank 😆. We concluded that the horn may not be working due to the a dodgy install of an aftermarket alarm system and immobilizer. Which, now has some how tripped and isnt unlocking with the key. went to have a look underneath the steering wheel and was greeted with a giant rat nest. ive started following all the cables and disconnected the immobilizer, however im just worried. Have I messed up by removing the immobilizer before unlocking it? If anyone could please let me know what the correct process is, as im slightly overwhelmed by this whole situation. Sorry for the overly long message...
