  1. I have a stage one fabia and already have my eye on a nice little upgrade... if i was to fit my own turbo and 4 bar map sensor before the map, then drive it from newcastle to manchester to get mapped would that cause damage to anything? i know the stop crew isnt setup...

     

    still rookie at diesel tuning so forgive me if this comes across a stupid question

     

    cheers

  2. Limp mode by the sounds of it.

    Get it scanned for faults,it won't show the EML in limp mode.

    Is it remapped?

    Will be either over boost or under boost,mine did it last night on way to work! ;)

     

    yeah mate stage 1 map by shark, gunna scann it at work on monday, cheers

     

    Your turbo actuator is sticking. The vnt needs cleaning.

    yeah i had a gut feeling it was that, cheers

     

     

    Same fault we're describing I think.

    It will either jam on or off so under boost or overboost.

    Without any replies it's difficult to say. If it was boost pipe popped off is expect it to be louder and more like a tractor as well as smokey so don't think it's that.

    thanks for the help mate! :)

  3. Right, was just pottering along before 60ish mph clutch slipped And now car doesnt go over 2k in 3rd 4th 5th and 6th, when it does go over 2k theres no boost no white or black smoke. Boost gauge reads 0. turned it off for about 15 mins started up again and it was boosting fine. no eml light on dash. clutch and turbo gone at the same time?

  4. How much did you pay for it? I went to view then walked away. We're any of the issues rectified before it was sold?

    £3700 mate i didnt find any issues with it mate? all just cosmetic? what did you find? lol 

     

    Went to see this with Dan. I couldn't believe what was described to be an immaculate car was a big let down. Very rough around the edges.

     

    Hope you got a good deal for it mate. Definitely wasn't worth the money the guy was asking for it, nice a lad as he was.

     

    Put some work in and get it back to its former glory!

     

     

    Oh and the turbo was standard. Just a remap.

    yes indeed full works is going into it, i found it needed cosmetic work, i felt like i got a good price, and yes the asking price was way way off but all in all im pleased with it.
