turbo-ghia troubleshooting part 3

 Ok so far what i know, is that the tube with the bow leaks a tiny bit of air, as i changed it to a straight pipe without welds or any BOW. now the tubes from the turbo to the end of intercooler is ok for me. BUT, today i tested the part from intercooler to the T-inatkemanifold, AND couldn't get any pressure to that. so the leak must be massive. i took it out of the ghia, as i want to get a better view what can be done, or is it useless... looks like the culprit is the china-throttle body. as it was before too. but i have to test it before I'm sure. IF the manifold setup is good from the T-shaped manifold, this thing could be running better one day. It was around -5 degree Celsius today, so my fingers were frozen in this hobby. i should get it to a warm garage, but there's ice and snow so picking up the ghia is not possible right now.

re check the 1 part of the tubing, with a better compressor, 

OK the bad part seems to be the part from china.

any better solutions?

new turbo - a garrett GT(X)35R

love it, this is for my black ghia, made for that engine. Tial turbine housing, will be great to see if this engine will get some extra UUMPH... later on of this. ;-)

Turbo Ghia - searching for bugs ;-)

I drove to kangasniemi to tear the fan apart, ( the fan was busted and it turned freely, even when the engine was not running... ) and to change for a better part... And after few hours i was able to test drive the ghia again, with my co-pilot (7-years old)  jimi... Jimi was very eager to get the ghia for a small spin, and when i got it to the third gear, and for some boost, the little boy was dead silent... Ok, some bugs made me stop the test, but it was worth the trip, because of jimis reactions before and after...

When getting back to the garage, jimi was able to get in to the tracktor with mr. Laitinen, and for a little boy, that tracktor drive was even cooler than the ghia ride... ;-) 

Theres some issues in the car that has to be fixed... But that will be another story... 

Btw, the car is now allmost "silent" after the fan-fix, getting better, but not in the "finish-line" yet. 

I will hope that we will get the bux out from the ghia... And...there will be a ballbearing hairdryer and a autotune or similar in the future... The car is looking good anyways!
