[quote=dave2007bc]Remember how I said the car was complete, well apparently the car didn't agree.
I had some awesome drives over the last month or so. The car is really really motoring

Unfortunately when I returned from my last drive there was blue smoke coming out of the exhaust 
I did a compression test, the results were all OK so it was fairly obvious the turbo oil seals had gone.
I set about taking the turbo off.
Once off, it was fairly clear the seals had gone. There was also significant movement in the shaft itself.
I took the turbo to Venom Turbos in Leeds. This company specialises in rebuilding ball-bearing turbos. The damage to the turbo was fairly severe and
would have resulted in a bill of almost a grand.
I therefore chose to buy the most appropriate replacement 'off the shelf', for a bit more money. The Garrett GTX2867r GenII. This turbo
has the potential to do 450bhp if I really push it!
New turbo arrived -
...and fitted.
I did a video on my YouTube channel of fitting removing the old turbo and replacing it with a new one.

That's where I am currently. I need to get some road miles on the car before heading back over to Leeds for mapping.
If I can get to 435bhp that would take the car to 700bhp/ton which is more than a Koenigsegg CCX :beer:
