[Whiplash]

wow wish i could quit mine!

do it!!!!

nothing like a little peer pressure, I've been getting it on my phone from a few influential people

don't do it unless you have somewhere else to work

have to say i'm getting the "am i doing the right thing?" feeling now

[Luke_ENR34]

ah what size is it

I think something like a 3inch pipe with a 4-4.5inch tip. havent really mesured yet. all stainless to.

Hope i get it all done tomorrow, wouldnt mind hearing how it is in the tunnels hehe

[andz]

quit my job yesterday

wow wish i could quit mine!

i wish i could too

had only 2-3 weeks break in 5 1/2 years

no full weekend off and no sick leave in that period, suck to be me

[typevu]

have to say i'm getting the "am i doing the right thing?" feeling now

Haha I know that feeling! But then just remembering why I quit in the first place assured its the right thing.

[Sinful]

quit my job yesterday

Well Done!!

Must of had a good reason to do it

Should feel releived?? (spelling)

[Madaz]

well my turbo is showing signs of failing, thankful to Luke for helping me out with his

should hopefully have it in on sunday all going well

[Hotwire]

Luke - Heslo's turbo? are you purchasing it off him? should be nice little addition to your car. Do you still have stock ECU though Steve?

[Madaz]

yeah Lee but will be changing ecu also ;)

[SLED]

Hey Steve, what symptoms are you getting from your sick turbo and is it the ceramic or steel wheel type?

[Madaz]

Hey Pete its ceramic and after 5,000 rpm it sounds like a supercharger whistle so now I'm not boosting @ all and I've taken as much boost out of the manual controller as i can so its basically running factory boost to which i'm not using trying to drive on 0 or neg vacuum

[SLED]

Sounds like you've lost a little bit of the impellar which probably just shot out of the exhaust.

I wouldn't be doing too much driving if I were you because the blades can get fairly unbalanced and shatter now.

OK if the pieces shoot straight out your exhaust.......not OK if a piece gets caught between an exhaust valve and seat.

[Madaz]

oh what happens then and when I'm on negative vacuum my understanding is the turbine isn't spinning??

[SLED]

oh what happens then and when I'm on negative vacuum my understanding is the turbine isn't spinning??

Wouldn't have thought it would stop spinning altogether but as long as your under boost I can't imagine the thing would fly apart.

You would think that the ceramic has gone but you never know, it could also be something else?!

My old 32 was doing this about a day before the rear tubine let go and lodged itself in my cat, as SLED said i really wouldn't wanna drive the car that much cause it sounds like the turbo's close to death

[Madaz]

yeah I'm doing barest minimum with 0 or little boost

[MikeyGTRmike]

yeah I'm doing barest minimum with 0 or little boost

when mine blew i was in town and had to drive my car to woodcroft to my mates to fix it, was a f__ked drive with no boost trying to get up south road

[bezender]

i just played 3 sets of squash... holy sh*t my body will be giving me grief tomorrow. its a fantastic cardio workout, had a great time... but my least favorite part was when i ran flat out into a wall LOL

[MissR34]

see this is why i am glad i have a non turbo.................no need to worry about turbos blowing up

[ted180]

[KISIN]
