    Defo check all the boost pipes again.

    Thanks Gav,
    I do have a boost gauge, and normally it will boost to 18 psi, now it only hits 14 psi, so back to the pipes.....

      • Good on you for having a go mate. yes tasky hey. Anyway whosh will most def be boost leak. this is where i probably won when doing VWindahouses one, before i refitted the bar cover i smoke tested it for itegrity, i guess hard for you guys without that sort of gear. i know it makes it hard to say whilst you have your front PU back on but its best you make sure the clamps are all new and proper tight.
        Im sure will get it, good work!
        Cheers

          • So I took my bumper off again, and found one slighly loose clamp...I retighted it, and then went through all the other clamps and made sure that they were tight.......very tight.
            After that I decided to finally fit my forge TIP; well what can I say but sh#t was a mission. There as screming and shouting and cuts and bruises, but finally after removing half the engine, I managed to fit it -- whooohooooom although wont be in a hurry to do this again. If anyone is thinking of doing this, drop me a PM, and I will give you a few tips

            Anyway, here of the photos of my cooler, with TIGHT clamps:



            and the TIP:

                            • clicht, I love your wheels mate.
                              A question on the blacked out lights though, Is there any legal/insurance issues with doing this?

                                did you do it yourself?
                                is it vinyl?
