Default Fuel Economy

Since installing the aftermarket turbo intake & intercooler inlet pipes
The trip computer has definitely noticed improvement in fuel economy
Used to sit around 12.3/12.4 litres per 100, but now ...

That's a great improvement! I may have to give it a go.

How is the sound now?

Biggest noise I’ve got comes from the turbo outlet
Haven’t noticed any more noise from the inlet

Last trip I went to overtake and lost power
Not the best feeling in the world
This trip I parked up for my two hourly walkies
and when I went to take off...
Friendly red lighting bolt popped up
Parked up with the bonnet up in the shade
Cleared all the codes with the Bluedriver
20 minutes later all good
So I've decided to send the turbo actuator off for refurb

I did my own refurb.

Found a couple of YouTube vids and thought, hell I can do that.

Replaced the 3 wires on the right hand side looking into the lid, and all fixed.

And it cost me nothing.
