Ok it's not the roadster one, But some of you know I bought a TwinTurbo Xr4x4 at christmass.. I have spent about 10hrs maybe more trying to get it to run.

Finaly today I cracked it and shes running.

Well happy. One less thing to do.

I had to remove the Piggyback ECU loom during testing, so that has to go back on before I give it any boost.

And I need to replace the Power steering pump as it sounds like it's going to blow up!!! I was going to put a wanted add out on the owners club.. But then rememberd that the Roadsters engine which is in the garage would have one and it's not going to be needed :D BONUS!!

Whe's started on the button 3 times since, Needs timing up better though.

It's an advantage to the roadster project, as it means I can move all cars on the drive now.

And also I have a working ECU/LOOM/DIZZY to test against if the Roadsters lump proves to be just as stubborn!

DCU has 250 written on the EPROM.. So one would assume IT's a 250. Guy sellign it tried to say it was putting out 300 but I expected a 225 :)

The one my friend has, its his 2nd, we converted his first one to TT, then e sold it, and bought a 24v converted 4x4, then sold that and this one came along and he had to have it

I would really like one, but whenever i have the money to buy one they are all priced into the thousands, then when i dont have the cash all the £500 ones pop up, thats what im after, to strip and rebuild

The car was a standard car, it was a muel for an engine destined for a 3dr but never made it. the Mule ended up with all sorts of crap dumped inside so was a bit of a state.
