thats no good!
hope all is good!

howd the turbo shop get on with swampa?

[swampa]

it will be there all week, they have told me what to expext from my setup with the dyno, its a bit of a handful to drive at the moment, probably do brakes next in a couple of months then maybe turbos at the end of the year, but there is other stuff i would rather do to the car than just getting more power, how about yours? got the turbo off yet

[Engineer]

yep, its knackered picked up rebuild kit this morning and will overhaul it later in the week with a guy from work, hes right into them and builds his own. took injectors out aswell, one was pretty much seized and just dribbling out! and the other 3 were knackered aswell. and fitted a snorkel in the weekend. should hopefully go abit better.
rebuild kit $281 as theres a carbon seal that needs replaced. alot cheaper than the possible $1500 diesel tune ups were gunna charge me!
injectors and glow plugs will be close to $500

[swampa]

hope things work out and get u back 4 wheelin soon

Been in there once last year - by all accounts the track at the chuch is much improved in the last year or two to what it had been. There was still one bigger hole on the Onslow side of the church - but nothing too drastic.

The Onslow road gets closed on the tuesday after Queens Birthday too: http://www.codc.govt.nz/information/not ... 20closures
