Hey man. Your starion wouldn't happen to be a silver one with mesh wheels and bilstien shocks that was for sale in autodrome on fitzgerald ave a couple of years ago, would it?
I walked in with the cash for that car, but some guy had financed it up about an hour beforehand... Oh well, you snooze you lose! ;)

this is my motor

the red is the vacuum hose from in front of the turbo
the blue is the line from the little valve thing to the vacuum advance
(dizzy and advance in purple)
what i want to know is is the orange t-piece line supposed to be going to the inlet manifolfd? it seems like there would be no vacuum under boost conditions, and this would cause no timing advance. the hose seems to have been put there at some stage after the car was made.

when i bought it the guy said that that there was a hose clamped that he removed. but i didnt see whic one. i have a feeling he reconnected this t-piece that shouldnt have been there.

yeah man thats the one but theres a long story behind it the guy from autodrome was a F**K wit and was full of it it had the tps sensor disconnected and light from dash removed turbo is shot but still going as for the bilstiens try cut springs, so after three months of owning it my mate went thru three sets of tires and crashed it blew the diff and stuff the brakes, so after sitting in his garage for two and half years i bought it for 800 and it now owes me about three k oh and it had been in a massive smash before he owned it and had to get the chassis straightened but not to much and its now missing its front kit as scott smashed it like the day after he had it so all in all man you should be glad you didn't buy it, its been hell and cost me way more than i thought it would but it's getting there and the dash is still going hard althogh burning about 1 litre of oil every two weeks so its finally driving round again but not really good enough for my liking but way better than the vr4 i had and the interior is mint

ciao lee

ps sorry this isn't about the post topic but people need to know about F**K wits

Can you send me a pic of your map sensor? If it is the same as the one I have just pulled off my car then you can buy mine off me :)

Just an idea, but I just replaced my fuel filter and it stopped my car falling on it's face at 4200rpm! Now she boosts all the way to 5500rpm! :D

Also, if you're engine is still stock, revving your engine past 5500rpm will make no difference! Car will not produce any more power above this level, change gears!

Sorry mate, not going to be able to help you out there. My map sensor is the other type which I believ has a different connection.
