    Turbo sounds like a supercharger!

    Sorry to bring up an old thread guys, but I have a quick question regarding a similar problem... Noticed a drop in power and the token hair dryer noise while driving the other day. Then, after looking for a boost leak somewhere, I noticed that my TIP had popped off at the bottom. Now my...

    He never used any sprays, no, but had all his kit set up properly to get some quality shots! He showed me some as we were going along, and they looked fantastic! Sadly though, my useless camera combined with my even worse photography skills just means that the photos I took don't look up to...
