I have got an MBC fitted in between my boost solenoid and the actuator, boost is not too high (just into the red). White hose capped off, and third hose to the turbo outlet is disconneted, if i get a bleed valve, will i get around this problem and how do install it? Thanks Shamir.

Are they still for sale?

Talking of the small fry winning, i remember when we used to go down the back of B&Q in Lakeside a couple of years ago (before they put speed humps down). I went up aginst a BMW 540i, whooped him in 1st gear, had him still in 2nd and then into 3rd he started gaining on me and then we had to brake be...

After i turned down the boost i think it was just toutching the red, but the torque steer was still alot so i need to get used to the power again and then i can watch the gauge. Getting the Richmod would be a good idea but how much, how long would it take to get done, would it definatly not shut dow...

Got my 2nd 480 turbo about three months ago, but because i got a company van and and iam only getting a bit of extra money recently progress has been slow. However, thanks to the easter weekend i change the annoyingly dripping sump plug and also attatched the stainless steel pipe instead of the crap...

ok, thanks guys.

So can i run it without it?

I just got my stainless steel pipe made up, which replaces the rubber pipe in between the air flow meter and the turbo. The pipe which feeds oil vapour into the turbo has a sensor on it, when i replaced it i didn't put the sensor back in, will this cause alot of problems or can i run it without it?

Yeah i got a red bonnet for sale, but iam in Essex we could meet somewhere halfway-ish or full delivery and adjust the price accordingly. Shamir.

Just got my pipe made up of stainless steel, which will replace the 'ever splitting' pipe in between the air flow meter and turbo, just need to know what is the Top turbo nipple point and where is it?
thanks shamir

Top turbo nipple point


Where is this? thanks shamir

Annoyingly all the pipes are black, the pipe on the solenoid furthest away when i am looking at it is going to the wastegate the middle one is going to the exhaust to ther 90' bend on the inlet turbo, but it is the one nearest to me when i look at it. It has snapped off or been cut, its hard to tell...

Hi guys, i took apart my plastic pipe which is in between the air flow meter and turbo and i have decided to have it made up in Stainless steel. However, when i removed the bottom part of the pipe i saw a vacaum pipe going into the black thing (don't know what is called) and then the middle vacaum p...

I would go for option B, and make it into a single seater, just to make sure you can't be a taxi for anyone!!! Mainly becoz as we all know 480's things always go wrong and as you use it daily then i'am sure you'll keep finding things wrong or stuff you wanna improve on it.

Cool thanks i'll look it up! Shamir

Red or yellow Koni's?

Hi guys, just wanted your advice on replacing my suspension. What i really want to do is have a similar ride height but i don't mind if it is slighty lower, but i really want to have alot less body roll. The one thing i really regret on my last 480 turbo was not changing it, becoz every time i pulle...

I'LL GET ME COAT! TAXI!!!!

cool thanks for the help guys! Shamir

How do i join the pipes to the turbo though? thanks shamir
