So whats the difference doing 45mph at 4000rpm in second to 130mph at 4000 rpm in 5th? :confused:

And if on a NSL motorway, you would loose your driving liecence at 130mph. But probably get told off for doing 45

Yes but you will have to pay for the garage tp diagnose the problems first. Normally an hours labour.

Cool man - an hours labour I'd be happy with - a grand for a new turbo I wouldn't...

You wouldnt get charged for labour. I didnt on all three three times.

so can any 1 give me a list of reasons y my car keeps blowing hoses and turbos?

Either your vacuum controller is at fault, which would in turn not tell the Variable Vanes on your turbo to adjust quick enough. So when your revs go up the vanes are still in a position which is suitable for low exhaust gas pressure - when the pressure is actually getting higher. The turbo therefore produces more boost then it can handle. Usally its the seal that fails, the turbo spits oil into the manifold and this is noticed by loads of smoke, a burning oil smell and white burnt oil on your tail-pipe. Then she blows up a few days later.

Or...your car is actually fine but your being far, far to harsh on her. Flooring it from very, very low revs in low gears, like second for instance will ALWAYS cause a slight boost spike because the VNT system cannot respond quick enough. Over time your turbo will fail this way- regardless of it being in perfect health.

I'd get your car to Jabbasport to be honest....call them first though; they might all book a day of leave then prior to your arrival.

1. you drive like a ****

Where do you get the 173bhp figure from? It sounds very low for a Jabba remap!

Chris

For info, on mine the post-custom Jabba figure was verified on Awesome's RR at 175bhp. Jabba's torque figure was over by about 30lb/ft though - 330 plays 300 at Awesome.

This might help with the original question actually, as my turbo isn't serving up boost quite as readily as it should. So my figures are lower than they should/could be, especially running a Sachs organic. Perhaps this is the OP's problem? He really should be aware of it though, as Jabba would have pointed out anything they found issue with, post remap.

so if i get a new Vacume controler,dump valve,turbo timer,let it warm up for 2minits befor i pull off,and hi-presher hoses,i wont blow any more pipes or turbos at the minit i have a full role of duck tape round the rubber hose that gose 2 the intercooler to stop it blowing lol realy need 2 get hold of a new one,£80 tho!!! any 1 had a intercooler upgrade and got the old hoses, thay would sell,need 2 look after every penny as a poor student lol

thanxs guys

You are a student....

and

less problems

If you let it idle before pulling off, it's just wasting diesel as you need the engine under load to generate heat. Best to drive off as soon as possible and try avoiding parking the car up while driving on full boost
