right installed boost controller adn other items yestday car was all fine before going to 1bar,

took it out to "self learn" on the controller (which required a redline)

got the car back and its "raspy" on tick over and boost sounds like a pile of ****

its got a mongoose on there, which i think istn in the best condition

how hard is it to fix / cost

a) manifold gasgets
b) turbo gasget (thou think this is ok)

any other ideas appreciated as after waiting 18months to go to 1bar its abit :roll:

car wont be driven until its sortd out,

Manifold gasket is about ten quid and the turbo gaskets are thirty quid for the pair :wink:

I've got a spare manifold gasket and one of the turbo gaskets lying around somewhere that I bought and didn't need :wink: Not sure which gasket it is as I used one, I think it was the oblong gasket steel gasket I used and still have the other one.

Mine's the same mate on tickover it sounds sh!t, very noisy from the front of the car. Which is being caused by the exhaust blowing like a thai whore!

It could be the turbo elbow.

Its quite common for the nuts holding it on to vibrate loose :wink: It happened on mine once and it sounded like a tractor :lol:

not quite they are shite in a way :lol: thou id still buy another one

in all honesty i did think it was the exhuast thou i have to say mongoose exhuasts are ok but i do think

a) they are made out of tin or something
b) they are quite cheap but i do expect them to last longer than 1year
c) their "Lifetime warranty" isnt worth a cent, esp if you buy the car with it on, but cest le vie
