Welcome :)

Short shifter coming up? ;)

looks to me like the air is getting sucked back into the bay. Most CFD results of under bonnet simulations shows the air escaping below the car at the rear of the engine, most likely it just adds to that flow.

I'm hoping your radiator is a good place for air to flow in through ;)

Pressure differential might work in your favour still depending on the pressure at the front grill

Surely you want heat radiation from the inlet system with the turbo? You thinking its heating up the inlet air?

More like the problem (running rich by the looks) was causing the plugs to go black and sooty :)

Is the IC not what rhe cross thing is on? That looks be rising all the time

Its so he can run an iacv, right azzy? But I still not sure that that is the issue:) I would have mounted it remote like Frank did a couple if years back

Good info! Would be nice to do the same for a longer period so that I/C has less chance to act as a heat sink.

My friend at uni is developing a customisable data logger, should be done in a couple of months. I'll keep you updated :)

As LowRider says, at 0.5 bar you will be running about 80degree inlet temperature. This will basically negate any advantage due to the loss in air density. (based on temps out of turbo, they will be lower at the engine entry due to some heat loss in the inlet system but I cant say how much this...

Brighton but ill be driving round the m25 pretty soon so could come collect. (the 14th). Any chance you could remove the tyres for me? not gonna have a lot of room in the car (moving back from uni).

The difficult thing is knowing the compressor efficiency at different pressure ratios and air flow rates. This is why you need a compressor map for your turbo :) you may find that the T3 has poor efficiency at low air flow rates at pressure ratios. EDIT: error in my drawing: 0.5 bar of boost on...

I might take these off you mate : ) They arnt bent or anything are they? lips are all straight?

Might be worth keeping the first post up to date for those who dont want to read all the posts to see if what they want has been sold :)

Btw, I think what you are doing is fantastic! Always nice to see real innovation and creativity.

Its called a flap wheel... the rotary version of a belt sander :D

I'm confused as to the purpose of this? Wasn't it to amplify the tach signal? Whats the coil for?

Surely it doesn't matter what part or the same piece of metal its soldered to :)
