Downpipe noise?

[RedRummy]

cool, that sounds really good, didn\'t know I had so much control over it.

I\'m deffo gonna come along to a track day sometime, but I\'m just settling in with the car, knowing what its like and making sure everything is sound - I\'m still finding new things that have been modded LOL

cheers   :cheers

Just need to get the exhaust manifold looked at first too...  :Grrr :Grrr

sounds like it could be block to LIM gasket,this will cause an exhaust leak noise in/around turbo\'s and cause a lumpy/hunting idle.

Hunting idle is due to excessive air being drawn into combustion chamber through damaged gasket and exhaust leak could be coming from air pump port on block just below primary ports.This is quite a common problem and changing the LIM gasket with engine in is a bit of a job.Do you know if that gasket has been changed before,has engine had rebuild(could of been changed then)?? Reason i ask is old paper type gaskets are very common for leaking but new type of plastic/steel ones are not

That sopunds like the culprit... It has had a rebuild (by FEED, in Japan, in 2005, for previous owner)... no idea what was changed though.

Hmm, sounds like a PITA to get sorted... at least its not uncommon..

Will I be doing any harm to anything by driving it?   :xconfused

I don\'t have any ramps or even axle stands (gonna get some stands at some point), and well, as for my toolbox... I\'m sure I\'ve got a screwdriver in the kitchen drawer somewhere... LOL

So, I guess it would be a visit to Re:Worx
