Get a huge sticker for rear window "NON TURBO" but I'd guess that would be like adverting you have no left nut and defeats the purpose of driving an NA line (looks fast, goes slow)...I do like the camera idea

HAHAH thats what i done. i put a sticker no the back saying 'Sorry, It, Non Turbo' and i noticed i dont get pulled over at all anymore .. it work =)

yeh bro i got pulled over, cop pulled me over and basically said im not suppose to be drivin turbo.

i wasnt speeding or anything, and i told him ' its not a turbo mate'

he goes ok.

and i could see him checkin out my car for other problems, then he full on asked me to show him bonnet so i did.

then he did a whole car roadworthy check on car, and slugged me for my front tyres being too slick.

at the time , i was getting new tyres fitted in whtihin 3 days with these new rims, and i eve noffered to show ihm rims which wer in the boot, i told him to plz not giv me a fine or canary, but he goes ' its for your protection' or sum sht and stuck this massive sticker on my car lol ( canary) . so i had to go through whole roadworthy bs at vicroads.

and optop of that, vicroads had a stuff up with my roadworthy which i got a letter saying registration was suspeneded, which i needed to sort out .

absolute waste of time, they didnt need to do that.

but i wasnt gonna complain, who knows , he might've arrested me for trying to explain to him common sense.

with the amount you are getting hassled im thinking maybe your car is known to them from a previous owner.......

I am the old owner lol.. I didn't get picked on anywhere near as much as David is saying he is.

I was only done for speeding once..

The car just attracts lots of attention because it sounds tough and looks mint! Sooo shinnnyyy

ethnic appearance???? lol

in what world would they hassle you for having an ethnic appearance :D

nah but i get hassled a bit by cops,

i was pulled over, and he asked me to show him under bonnet, so i did. and he was satisfied with that, then he started doing a check on my car , and slugged me for my front tire being a bit bald , so he defecteed me :(

but jus dont flogg it hard, when cops are around , put it in 5th and cruise if a cop is nex to you and you shudnt get hassled., even if it is a turboed.

Well, a number of things,

Ive been pulled over because they thought i was of ethnic apperance, when in fact im not tanned and i have light brown hair.

Ive been pulled over and had a mouthing to because of dark window tint whihc is 100% legal.

Ive been followed by under cover cops all the way to my mates houses and turn sirens on when i have stopped and turned the car off.

Ive had them open my door and step on the accelerater trying to prove its a turbo, when its obviously not.

ive been pulled over and had my engine bay searched.

My pod filter makes a good sucking noise, and have been questioned many times over this, but its fully sealed in a box.

But there seems to be nothing i can do to avoid being pulled over except for not driving, has any one else experienced this, or is it because i was born a ginger and have bad luck for life :bomb_ie:

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!
    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum 
    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
