Have been meaning to post for a long time

here's my old post
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=87106.0

that white car got rear ended and i bought another one (a black SI) so it got the turbo instead.

I hurt the motor in the black car this weekend on my road trip to see some buddies in PG, so back to driving Snow White (recently released from the body shop).

Pics below Enjoy and comment.

On the way home from work one day (same day i was to prove the D's worth, she spit the BOV in protest





back up and racing in 2 hours


After almost 4 months and 10,000 km of beating on it, something finally let go on my way up this weekend.....
Seems to still be fireing on all holes, just some are weaker than others. Oh and the typical big time puff puff out the valve cover hose. Betting cracked pison/ringland! Opinions?

Kinda hard to tell in the vid, but the second one where it sounds like a lopy cam... well its' not the cam.

 

My old turbo. Next time you go for a random drive come visit me we can get drunk and be rude. Sounds a little like subaru death rattle ie cracked ringland.

 

so what was previously holding the bov.. silicone lol jk

 

i knew a kid that used silicon and could never figure out where is boost leak was...true story

 

ah i c.. but i wonder wat that ---- was on his charge pipe..

 

from about halfway in his first post there is a pic when they were putting it together and it looks to be jb weld.
seems the car broke away from the jb welded bov.

 

haha yup seems the chineese don't make aluminum BOV flanges, and i needed to drive the car that night. so JB Kwick did the job, and it did the job again when it broke haha.

I'm hopefully pulling this bullet out soon, pics to follow when i do.


I actually had planned a kamloops/calgary trip to see you and Grampa Bret, but alas... ringland ownage

 

Damn got Ketchup

I though i liked the ---- looks like you drink it a

 

now thats an ***
