Turbo Update

[sideways danny]

its possible it was oil in the holes, i cleaned them all out as best i could before the build and to be fair, its run perfect for 3 years, only in the last 18 months its shown issues.

can be hard. Saw one just like it at K-tec not that long ago, came back from being acid cleaned and they found the cracks on pre assembly inspection

Good find Coopsie, it's a bummer bit now you know the problem and can sort it out reasonably easily.

An F7R wouldn't have cracked :p

Coops, what kind off chargecooler is that ?

Does anyone use the AVT chargecooler ? If yes, whats you're opinion ?

Jo, thats the same chargecooler i have. it's a pace chargecooler originally designed for the r5 gtt.

thx, couldnt find any renault owner that use the AVT so far.

[Coops]

ai, its a pace system, never seen an avt actually in use but seen pics of one in a clio bay. possibly bass direct had one on his original build???? wild guess but know i've seen it!


woddanory, seen more F7R's cracked like this than p's 2:1

You're right, it would have melted long before any cracks could appear & that's only after the owner has struggled to get it to run right for several months :P
