Get anywhere with this? I'm planning on doing the same to my Blt engined fabia but was hoping to avoid taking some digital verniers to each individual vac pipe.

Been a few weeks since turbo swap and need more advice now. Car specs: Standard map (for now) GT17/52 turbo 2.25" or 2.5" decat pipe (can't remember) Uprated seat sport fmic and airtec pipework EGR and cooler deleted My problem is its a bit laggy til 2500rpm (understanding been 2200rpm) then it overboosts to 1.6bar when requesting 1.35bar in stock map and still overboosts to redline. Also when I get has high as say 4200rpm there is rumble from engine which is weird. I've attached the logs Ive done. Actuator test coming out about 110mbar difference using vcds and actuator is 75% at 4000RPM ish. 3rd gear WOT boost log.xls actuator test.CSV

So guys I'm ready to turn the car over finally after refitting everything however I've been told I need to prime the new oil lines I've fitted. How do you do this? Can I just unplug the injection wiring loom then crank 3 or 4 times for 15 seconds with a good break In-between so starter can cool down?

Still for sale?

Sorry I know but at the end of the day I don't want to get my new hybrid and then find out something else is wrong/broken :-S. Still dunno why how the oil filler cap was releasing all that smoke just seems wrong to me is all. On another note would it be worth while doing the elephant mod or get a catch can to avoid clogging my newly cleaned inlet and should the original oil cooler be sufficient to keep oil cool when I'll be running 200hp?

I nearly broke mine but then decided to remove this first then take oil feed pipe off

Yeh just the pipe. It arrived today but to be honest the quality is quite poor, welding isn't great dunno why they couldn't of just bent a tube and knurled the ends. Probably going to send it back

Can I just ask what your opinions are on the engine as I said before it was bellowing out of the oil filer cap when I managed to get it to run, but the exhaust side of turbo was seized so I'm guessing it was exhaust gasses coming out of there what damage could this of done and how has the exhaust gasses even managed to get in there, blowing past piston rings? Is it worth taking valve cover off and whipping injectors out and examining the pistons with my boroscope?

Thankfully the fmic caught the turbo debris.

Can I just clarify a few things: Are you saying it's had low power since turbo went or before? Is the car running stock map or has it been remapped for the old turbo just not again yet? I would also wait for your computer to come back get vcds out and look at your idle stabilisation this will tell you if injectors are faulty if one or two are high or low, if all 4 are high or low then it could be cam in the extreme case, but unlikely. Also check block 3 I think it is for the torsion value and report back.

To answer your question on exhaust it's already got 2.5" decat and straight through exhaust no mufflers to a tip on the end

Few photos of damage to turbo turbine. No fragments found in inlet so it'll mostly be in the intercooler hopefully. There was a couple hundred ml of oil in lower boost pipe when removed and exhaust side turbine seized. I suspect shaft has snapped due to too higher egt's causing oil to cook and loose it's lubrication. Hope rest of engine still ok at this point.

Allard now do these for the vrs on ebay at 179 with EGR delete race pipe or will do you just the bended pipe for 75. I have taken just the bended pipe and will buy the darkside small EGR delete and retain the ASV on my blt fabia. As I nearly had a runaway I wouldn't recommend removing fully the ASV and EGR.

Will I still need to get head off to make sure no shards got in there or will checking the inlet manifold be enough to check? Also is it worth ripping off the sump to make sure no particles got into the oil through the oil return pipe?
