Certainly did :thumbsup: .
I still have a few things to sort out though. On the first test run I got nicely onto boost then the ECU light kept coming on and the car felt like it was stalling. Did a diagnostic and it looks like I am getting fuel cut, ecu was saying that turbo pressure was too high. Would the aftermarket downpipe, intercooler, air filter etc. cause this? eveything else is standard.
Also later I lost the brakes and at the same time the engine ran rough as hell, soon fixed that by replacing the brake vacuum pipe that had fallen off:doh: .
As for the problem I had last week with the car boiling over badly, well i have made a discovery:
[clown mode on] blown rad fan fuse :doh: :doh: :doh: [clown mode off]
Although I have noticed that when switching off the engine there is the slight sound of bubbling for a couple of seconds in the engine. Nothing is coming from the expansion tank, maybe a small airlock? Did a pressure test on the water system last week and didnt see any problems.
Guess I need a FCD and a granger ordering now :mrgreen:. easy to fit?
Anyway, all in all pretty happy with today :thumbsup: .
