turbo-ghia troubleshooting part 1

 Today was a great day, even i didn't get to the great final. i had to test the "Turbo Boost Leak tester" set... to pressurize the compressor side...BUT i couldn't get any pressure to the cold side of the turbo. none. i thought that the new leak tester is broken. but no. so now i have to test the system in smaller parts, like plug the intercooler, and test the tubes before that. or maybe just plug the tube where the BOW is located... 

have to go back tomorrow, if there's no wind and a bit warmer, as it was cold today. and i have to locate different size plugs for this... but maybe there's a reason that this black ghia doesn't have many horses...


the starting point. 1. remove the air cleaner...


2. plug the intake of the turbo...
and put some compressed air...


(there's the kit to test...)


3. dismantle the cold side tubing somewhere, 
and put a plug somewhere... and NOTHING!
there's a massive leak somewhere... DAMN!

to be continued!

small improvements....








that baby blue ghia got couple of wires, and now we have those front lights working so well,  (maybe the HID lights will have to wait for a while...) and as you can see the rear lights have some problems. i would guess that the problems are the grounding... the blinkers are not working for the moment. the wiring of the relay is fixed up someway. and at the rear the grounding is making some bugs. but seems like the blue ghia will be drivable in no time...heheheh. The Stroker engine... well I'm tinkering with the chinese tin, and the fitment aint so good at all. + theres no attachment to the coil & no holes to the throttle cable at all... BEWARE! I´ve been scratching my head, Should i mount the 48 IDAS or The Fuel Injection.... The 48 Isdas would cost 0 euros.but the eco and staff would be around 2000 e... and that old geezer with a cigar is my friend Mikko, great guy!
