Hi,
I recently converted to single turbo on the advice of a UK tuner. The main reason being my stock twins had issues and they are "getting hard to find. The single should be more reliable"
A mechanic has just informed me that my car will fail UK MOT emissions test in current form. It also smells like an open can of petrol.
A different tuner told me that the single turbo basically bypasses a bunch of emissions stuff on the Apexi ECU and so failure is near certain.
Does anyone have a solution please? :(
Hello,
Sorry to hear about your turbo troubles. While those in-the-turbo-know have a think, could I ask if it would be possible to have the original turbos reconditioned? There are a few good specialists about that could rebuild them for you if they aren't too far gone.
you don't have to removed the air pump and the cat just because you have gone single turbo, if folks have, most people have a friendly mot garage that understand they only use there cars on summer weekends. if your car is over fueling that bad you should have a chat with your tuner, the delights of a rotary.
Alas the time where I could change my mind on the twins has long past (and has a very long story).
Airpump gone, racing cat going back on, but the 'new' tuner is not optimistic.
Friendly garage does seem to be the ask :-[
If its a 1991 car you should just need a visual check.
I seem to remember this applies to a 92 as well
