Bonehead's Signum Design 1.9CDTi 150

[bonehead]

said turbo arrived today, ordered a new gasket and new banjo bolts and seals from Vauxhall.

won't be this weekend, but weather permitting, next weekend will see the new turbo in place.

[Teapot]

Excellent. More poke awaits

[bonehead]

​yeah, boiiiii!!!!!!

[bonehead]

no turbo yet.

got all the bits, just got no time, or room on the drive, to fit it!
daughters Corsa C is an ongoing project, and sits on the drive at the moment.

been trying to work out how much I've spent messing about, gonna try and list everything, with prices, and create a tally of money spent.

not sure if it's a good idea or not!

won't include consumables, unless necessary for a modification.

this will be ongoing, and is all I can think of now, probably some bits I've missed.
modifying is an expensive business!

Been looking at the MTEC shifter myself.. what's it like? Noticeable improvement?

[bonehead]

feels like it's not in gear properly till you get used to it, a couple of people have said the same thing when driving my car.
fairly big difference, IMO, but not the cheapest mod!

[bonehead]

I must point out, because a few people have asked, that the @Teapot map was so 'cheap' because I used my own software and interface, and I gave Paul a load of suspension goodies as part of the deal!

really sorry for any confusion caused, I just didn't consider how it would seem to Paul's other, and future, customers.

my bad!
