Yay finally got my car back the other day its running great...
Just feels like the car in 2nd and 3r is holding back abit. Would a re-tune of the uni-chip computer fix this problem?
Same here I've got my turbo sitting in my room.. I might get a mechanic to fit just to be on the safe side..

Did u also get the smaller Banjo bolt? Otherwise known as the 'oil restrictor bolt'??
You may need a re-tune considering the turbo has slightly different characteristics...

Hi yes i did get the Banjo Bolt. And yeh i think i might end up retuning the car.
If im in 2nd or 3rd gear and put my foot flat down on the pedal is sorta lags from about 2500rpm until about 4000 rpm then starts boosting and goes great.
could the lag be due to the vxr turbo having a larger rear wheel? does it have a larger exhaust wheel if so how much larger?
i know going from my T25 with a .64 rear almost no lag at all to my T28 with the .86 rear with a fair bit of lag, but once it starts to boost it hits hard.

Hi Everyone, I have just joined up to this site and have never used a Forum before so please be patient with me :-)
I just purchased a Astra 2003 Sri turbo z20let and have smoke issues.
1. Its Blue smoke
2. The exhaust tip is very black
3. The intercooler side of the turbo had a spoon full of oil in it but it has ben cleaned and not returned, Could the exhaust seal have just gone as I havnt check that side of it.
4. Could it be oil rings, Compression test is all around 175
5. Now I was thinking, Could it be the Valve stem seals?
6. The top of all the pistons are black , Also all the spark plugs are very black and a little oily aswell
7. The car seems to run and idle very well
8. engine stays very cool, Never gets close to overheating.
if anyone could help me please.
I think @guy 27 should be able to help you, once he see's this. Good luck!
