Thanks stav, all the best with yours too.

Acceleration looks damn good.

I'm getting my self a ball and chain at the moment mate so had to put the car on hold for a bit. Will be putting up a post soon as things get moving. looking at a very quick spooling turbo set-up. Low down boost ;)

Mate I am sorry to hear about the car but at least you have a garage that is willing to stick by its work and get it sorted. I know how it feels to spend alot of money and have your pride and joy taken away from you constantly trying to sort this and that out. You can start hating the car but all I can say is that when it does all come together, I'm sure you will be glad to have a one of kind Lexus. I would say hold on and see it through, your dealing with two professional companies in my opinion and between them they owe it to you to get that car sorted. Good luck

Hey Stav any updates with this mate, when does the boost kick in on your car, is it instant, are the tubs sequential?

If you want to be lied too and robbed TDI are the ones to use.

Been running the car for a few weeks after having it mapped at Noble. Runs pretty well, but not getting as much power as TDI originally said they had managed. Noble have said that the pulley I have on is exceeding the efficiency of the charger so smaller one would give more power, just blowing in hot air. Your car sounds the nuts, I think I will have to go the turbo route once I have the funds! Whats the torque like with the twin tubbies??

That looks like it's damn quick off the line, nice job mate.

Thoughts with Steve and family

thanks mate, looks like they have some decent stuff

what dvd/gps is that?

Hey Sam,

What turbo were you running on your setup, what was the spool up like?

I wouldn't touch a bigger pulley mate unless your willing to risk blowing your engine.

I would first disconnect the Battery for at least 10 seconds and see if the trc light comes back the next time you drive it. If it does you shoould hook up on obd scanner, it will tell you what the issue is.

Hope it's running well mate

Funny what happens when you go to www.tdi-plc.co.uk

bump

Fever did you manage to get this sorted as I have exactly the same problem?

How's the clutch feeling now mate?

Yemgi I feel for you mate, at least your engine is still in one peice! I can't believe TDI have done this to yet another member of the club.

like the gauges mate, I would be well happy with the result from Noble.

Toyota - 1G-GTE ???

I believe Cho went straight to a toyota dealership and ordered some GTE rods, think he said they were £700 or so.

Yeah got them direct from toyota, checked my receipts though Stav and they were actually just shy of 1k the pistons were cheaper

Does anybody no where or who ,may have a block lying around , I want to use it for mock up purpose , with the possibility of fitting a Whipple charger , Dont care if it even has a hole through the block .

Is 200 .

Thor racing might still have my old block but it has about 4 holes in it!
