Glad to hear it's on the road pal! Mine is due back shortly Mr Greer tells me!
As you say, like a kid at Christmas!

Got one or two more things that need sorting, but have another map on now which runs and fuels well, kind of restricted to 4k rpm but I don't need to go over that whilst running it in. Only need another 100 miles and it can be mapped .
The noise is so addictive, turbo chatter FTW!!!

Eeeee just booked in for the remap on Friday well excited!
I bet! Where are you taking it for mapping?
Ste @ SC Autos who did the build will do the mapping, so just down road from me.
Sounds good! A weekend of boosting then! That's my plans anyway
Yeh mate fingers crossed we are both out enjoying the cars, on what I hope is a beautiful weekend.
Yeh same mate, good to meet another clio owner local, shame you didn't bring it yesterday! Thanks, I'll stick with it for a bit longer yet haha!
Sorted now buddy?
Not yet mate! Possibly another month till all done.
That's a pity mate! Been a long haul for you hasn't it?
I know, not too much to do now though. Yeh been very long lost a lot of enthusiasm for it along the way, but have had it back for little drives so making me pick up a bit.
Actuator won't hold boost past 3500rpm forge actuator being ordered tomorrow! Cannot wait, sounds so cool on the rollers!!
Get some videos up!
I only got a crappy one as I was hoping for lots of boost but actuator let me down
It'll all be right in the end.
I bet you can't wait to take it for a spin!

Yeh nearly there! I'm driving it but just not enough performance for me yet. Added a boost gauge and vibratechnics engine mounts and have solid top mounts to be fitted as well. Cooksports nearly have a fail!
You need this on the road ASAP!

Mentioned crappy video, badly timed and noise of the fan was loud! Will get a better one next week for sure.

BG turbo's are for winners.
Jus sayin'

Good thread. Sounds a great build!
Would love boost on mine.

Haha when it's chattering away I definitely feel like a winner George
Thanks LiquidYellDan! I've not kept it up to date so much as it's been a long time. Boosting your liquid yellow can only turn out one way really and that's awesome! if you get it boosted you wont need that VXR that's for sure

I know. It would be awesome! Sold my vxr, do miss the boost and pops and bangs!
Should update my profile. Have an S2000 now, which also requires boost

Just an update as no further on yet
List of to do's:
Boost leak - Turbo to manifold. have ordered some Cosworth lock nuts.
Oil Leak - Looks to be from oil return.
Forge actuator - GT25 one won't hold more than 0.6 bar.
Air conditioning seal and re-gas
Nimbus heat shield
Solid top mounts
MAC valve
Remap
Also have some knocking / vibrating which only happened at motorway speeds.
Really just want it all sorted now

You probably won't need a different actuator if you are going for boost control
Going to be running 1-1.2 bar though? would that not matter? Does it bypass the actuator?
Already ordered it anyway like but good to know.

Yeah sort of, it's actually good to have a lower psi actuator as a safety net if anything was to go wrong.
oooo haha its bought now so just go with it. Just want it to be finished :boring: Shame you don't live closer, would have paid you by now
incy-spider Sorry mate do you know the size of the heat shield I need?

Have a look on my build, you can see it fairly clearly - don't have any sizes though sorry mate. Tbh mate having a smaller psi spring as a safety thing applies more to external wastegates so don't worry!
Thanks Chris, I could probably get away with the 4500mm x 5000mm heat shield. but doing it myself just incurs more costs. Also looking at your oil return, seems to be one black pipe from the turbo, mine seems to be a megane oil return pipe split in the middle then joined by some pipe and two jubilee clips. this is where it leaks from!

Where does the pipe tap into? Your block somewhere or sump? Also these kind of clips are the daddy's when crushed with the correct tool, proper seal!
I'm sure it's the block, can't remember it's just the pipes joined together with a bit if tubing and jubilee clips that's the issue. Sure the ktec return fees pipe would have been better [emoji85]
