Craig, continuing from the accident thread.

I get looks and sAfrican Americans all the time man. Every from my own family, especially my dad.

One night at tea we were sitting down eating and I was telling him something about my car. He got up and walked into the kitchen came back with the bin and put it on the table then said to me "Here, put your money in here" and walked out.

[craig R33]

yeah, some people just dont understand the passion mate.....

my GFs mum was the same, but i got her good,

she smokes and plays pokies, atleast i had something to show for my money!

I WIN OLD LADY!

[J - Rad]

True true. But I also think its a protection thing. "Don't make the same mistake I did".

[Cubes]

Fiddling I broke my actuators rod last night. Ahh well no dyno day for me.

N/A FTL.

Actually quite amazing how much the turbo helps torque off idle.

[Madaz]

True true. But I also think its a protection thing. "Don't make the same mistake I did".

I could try all though the heat may? damage the actuator, nothing to loose though I guess lol.

I need to replace the actuator any way as when tuned the most boost it would hold was 17psi and now with similar ambient temps its down to 16.6psi.

Wound a heap of preload on to it ~10-15mm but made no difference. The gate is being blown open which is partially due to the dump design but its better than having boost creep as its easily fixed.

[DSTROY]

if you get water onto it straight away it should stop the heat travelling down the metal, if you can get it off i could have a go at welding for you as i work at Ascott welding

Thanks for the offer but its all done. I only have an arc welder but its fine for little jobs like this. The weld appears to be plenty strong.

The old man has a mig but be buggered if i can get the travel speed + wire speed + amps + gas all sorted out to get a decent weld.

Now to find the end bit that screws on and attaches to the wastegate flapper arm. Hopefully I didn't leave it in the engine bay last night when it was dark while I was cursing. :S
