Hi Jason, welcome to the club. I see you have got started on some of the common mods, and it's looking good. Do you have this offensive item cluttering up your shed/garage? I may be interested in taking it off your hands for a couple of quid? I'm having to sell a Land Rover to fund my latest charged Lexus, but sometimes I just need to tow! I think this is the accepted knowledge around here, get them for ebay though if you don't want to pay dealer prices.

You should be getting 200-210 (at the fly) with the TTE charger. You seem to be getting very little over standard. It sounds very much like you are loosing boost. Check the entire system for leaks, as you may be loosing boost through a badly sealed join in the piping between the air box and charger, charger and intercooler or intercooler and inlet manifold. Also check that the belt is in good condition and tight, as they can slip. If in any doubt then replace the belt, I paid under a tenner I think. The best thing you can do it rig up a boost gauge, that will show you when you are loosing the boost. As for further increasing power (after you get this sorted, of course) your best bet is to remove the pre-cats from the manifold, the main cat too (though you will probably have to refit it for MOT time), Denso iridium plugs are good, and either an uprated air filter or preferably an induction kit (sounds absolutely awesome, nothing like it on this world, though wouldn't recommend it if you want to be subtle!) That's about as far as I got with mine! You can't really tune it much further without going into BIG money thou.

Yeh I thought that may be the case, thou the lump doesnt look that much bigger and the fit in the 200 isn't exactly tight. Looking like I may have get another to fit my charger and parts too. Best bet financially and all that. (Had a few beers!) Just thought: Why not a 300? I remember that the charger is for UPTO 3000cc so should give some boost at least and be quicker than a 200. How's ure's comin along Stav? Not really keeping up these days.

Yeh just thought of something. "Electronic supercharger. Adds up to 15 bhp." lol

Probably a silly idea! I wont be able to check the net again for a few days so I'll see what people say then.

Just a random question that may have been asked before: Would there be any way possible to fit a TTE charger kit into a 300? This: Into this: I would have thought that if this was possible then I would have heard of one. If at all possible, what kind of custom work will be needed and how well would it even run with the larger lump? Any ideas?

Woz, its good to have you back. Though I have been away since last year myself. Trying to get my Lex back on the road soon and will then be fully active again on LOC. Only with my car being in the state it is, the forum just depresses me!

A small point, that may have already been mentioned. A fully new TTE kit would not come with an HKS FCD, but with the TTE "little black box" possibly later versions may be "little silver box".

findapart.co.uk?

Done.

www.tdi-plc.co.uk Oh would you look at that. May be the funniest thing I've seen this week. :) :) :) :)

Yeh I have tried this, thou the thing is, auctions tend to run for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days etc, and therefore will only end at 2-3am, if they were first listed at that time, therefor there are not so many! Though still some steals to be had. Ooooh, is that in line wit Ebay rules Chris? :)

You have done very well! Best I managed was 4 wheels and good tyres for my vitara for £15. Thou last week I picked up a quality Celestion DVD player (originally £300-400) for a tenner!

**** that was close!
