Once cool the next day it went into 1st and reverse. Could drive forward and back. Can't get 3rd and sounds a bit rattly in neutral. Might be worth a bit more exploring first like you say.
What have you done with your pulsar today?

Reliable the track tho?
I'm wondering how long they'd last? Also will they have plastic bearing cages or heat sheilds?
They're getting popular in drifting circles so not total rubbish. I know some of the other copy brands are. I've not used them but can't find a bad review from the people who are. Check it out online and let me know

Yesterday, i borrowed a strobe/flash gun (not sure of the terminology) to adjust my ignition timing (with the TPS unplugged to fix the idle) which was quite a way out. Got it bang on 15 degrees, altered the ICV accordingly and took it out for a spin. Since i've nearly covered 300 miles from my build i decided to give some more welly and OMG, what a difference that makes! it's so responsive now and really picks up the pace. It was a lot of fun.
Just bought some fresh gearbox oil, will change that at the weekend and see if any metal bits come out or whether it solves the synchro issue.
I'm not overally convinced as of yet!
Being that so cheap just has bells ringing for me and the last thing I'd want is to have bits of turbo being injested into my engine or a failure on track.
I'm going to have a look around for other feeback, but most seems to be early feedback or delivery feedback than 1 or 2 year hard use feedback....
I'm having my turbo sent back to me for a 2nd opnion.
If they think its over a grand of work then I'll get it sorted with OD.
I'll just have to save a few £££'s over the months!

What turbo ? Was it turbo dynamics had good reports and prices for rebuilding them
Changed gearbox oil, took the car for a tentative drive and seems to shift better now. Need to go for a longer drive with revs to know it's resolved whatever happened before. One for another day

What's wrong with your turbo Andy, did bits of piston damage the turbine blades?
Forthcoming rallying in the north east. An event just announced 27th December at Langbaugh Motorsports (kart track) Middlesborough.
Entered in my GTIR, just needs a new plumbed fire system and an MOT and checkover. New 17 year old co driver.
Come support and see a rally GTIR in action....
