Well...

Fitted a new (well 2nd hand) turbo today to the stock S1 i got.

Fired it up and we still got smoke, so either this ones pucked to or the engine is...

Dosnt seem to have blow back, like took the oil cap off and nothing, yet blows smoke on idle and puffs it out when you drive it.

Gonna give it a compression test tommorow and then take it for a drive and see if it cleans up, there was alot of oil in the piping when the last turbo went so hoping its just all this coming through.

I am so pucking over this.

bargain.

the tyranny of distance for buyers?

beats me why we see threads from people looking to import one but won't look at locally landed and thoughtfully modified cars.

Well picked the Autech up from the transport depo on wednesday and it made the 200km trip home with no problems (bar the guard liners falling down because a certain panel beater didnt attach them).

Happy with everything mechanically, engine feels strong and sounds hot. The work the panel beater has done is pretty crappy. Over spray, orange peel, spots of dust under the paint, things not put back 2getha properly etc etc.

And then id like to know where the HKS coilovers it was supposed to have have gone...

havnt had a chance to get under it yet to check the rust out yet, can see some minor stuff.

It drives so nice, was everything i had hoped it would be (just not compliable). Cant wait to get it run and and tuned once its in its new home.
