| Sorry |
|
Yes i do have a tubby it's a small turbo known as a TD04 which is a Mitsubishi hybrid., and thats about as much as i know about it. I have had it refurbed at AET turbos nr Wakey just off M62 and they had trouble getting parts for it as it was so rare(and small). It's a cracking little turbo though, and i absolutely love the feel of the turbo kickin in.
Anybody who comes on here is entitled to a free drive. Noooo that doesnt mean you can phone me up the next time ya going on a long trip to the south of France. Besides with it's current fuel consumption you wont want to take it any further than round the block !

At a guess bud, im getting somewhere between 20-25 mpg !
Which im not really happy about, cos i think its closer to 20, the whole wideband, emanage blue thing is still screwed up, the fuelling's shagged etc etc.
Hopefully when its sorted i will see better fuel consumption. WHEN !! ?

The top brace there does buggerall really. It's teh uprated arbs that it's all about. Best £180 you can spend on a 5 IMO. Clive's ride convinced me to get some JRs. Teh seks.

Is it a TURBO diesel? 
I recommend everyone get a turbo, I have the Greddy kit/ Mitsi TD04 too, non-intercooled though, still LOTS of fun!
What intercooler you using? just out of interest.
