Re: how to adjust turbo

The local turbo guru reackon running half your normal impellers on the turbo to help spool up time and increase responsiveness. You unbolt the housing and pull off the fins with a pair of snips. They usually have way too many fins for the area of the turbo so if anything it'll spin faster and make ...

Re: 1995 Surf sags 20mm on the right hand side at back

Also looking at the picks the springs are fucked , 20mm side to side isnt to bad considering the tank is on the drivers side but i would reccomend renewing them it almost looks lowered in the arse end !! its underway.... so 20mm is nothing to worry about? not going to cause funny tire or suspension ...

^^^ You might have to fork out for some new ones if you want guaranteed no sag, or put a coil spacer in on the saggy side, not sure whether that would be a good idea.
