Well my friend helped me out with the bumper. He's been welding plastic for years. I'll post a couple of pictures of how it looked before painting, hope it'll give an idea for everyone:

Did the same. I'll leave these 2 pictures here as inspiration. :)

Cheers! :)
Will look a lot better lowered by about another 3-4cm's and front spaced out 15 or 20mm's. Rear will be flush after lowering without any spacers.
And hopefully there will be a few...
Some progress here as well. :) Had to raise the car earlier, but will be low again in about 2 months. Don't really like this ride height, looks like a boat or something... Anyways a lot has happened...
Yes, I am almost entirely sure I have a leak somewhere, the fit of the cooler pipes is horrible... I was surprised I could even join them somehow, hehe.
I don't have any dump valve at the moment, so...
Some update.
Changed to the HKS actuator, boost starts to build up earlier, but still struggles to achieve higher boosts, although it has the same pike boosts in every gear now and feels quicker...
Thanks a lot for the tips and the help! Will run actuator pressure then. :) Stock boost is perfect for now.
Thanks a lot Pippin89! That sounds just like what I want.
It also looks like I can get away without using a Bren's device, as actuator pressure would be perfect for me for now. I can't adjust it...
No one? :(
Bump.
Did a search regarding the actuators and have seen mixed opinions.
Does anyone have any first hand experiences regarding the adjustability of the HKS actuator or running stock boost...
Thanks a lot guys!
Just a couple of questions now. :)
HKS or Forge? For now I'd like to retain 10psi (stage 1a mods, no chip, stock boost, I don't need more power yet). Does anyone know what's...
The piping was don accordingly to the stock piping (made pictures of everything and put it back together exactly as it was before). Checked the piping, it isn't split anywhere, and no RPM change...
Bump. Any opinions?
UPDATE TIME! :)
Read somewhere that you can test the actuator by removing the actuation pipe, but you have to be extra careful, because this way there is unlimited boost.
Tried it, picks up mega...
Well it wasn't a proper boost leak test, just spraying brake cleaner on the joints. Was only to see, if the vacuum sucks it in, or not. It didn't, no change in RPM.
To be fair the car was perfect...
If it's any help I'm running a 4.3 diff. 80mph in 5th ~ 4000rpm. :) So a 4.1 should be a bit nicer.
Acceleration is like gaining another 50hp after the 3.6 and 3.9 diffs though.
I'm on stock power,...
Thanks a lot! Will buy a slightly uprated one to the rear. :)
Hi,
so I am having boost issues lately. Three things changed since the car was normal: rebuilt turbo install, FMIC install, pigeon mod.
In 2nd max boost is 6 psi, struggles to achieve this...
And mine:

Would love to have it lower, but at the moment I really need a trouble free ride height. Will...
Thanks Mark! To be fair I have no clue about this topic, but it sounds good to me. :)
Any other expereinces with mismatched brake pads?
Hi,
so long story short. I moved to Austria, took the car as well, many amazing mountain roads here. But my brakes are horrible. I have new fluid in the system, Ferodo 5.1.
The car has Stage 1a...
Thanks a lot! So I need to find a different source, yeah...
I've read about this topic earlier, and other said the same too (the wastegate should only see boost), and that way it'll react better...
Thanks for the input guys!
Well my car is sadly quite far from me, I can't check if this nipple is the nipple which sees only boost. All I know is it's the nipple what the recirc used.
Any ideas...
Bump. Anyone?
