Re: fiesta st170 turbo
yeah the brace mate, am thinking cutting mine and making a new bit to go under exhaust, exhaust is bang on in line with it or do you think i could just space the brace down with 1" steel blocks between the brace and floor, if you know what i mean.

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
would that not put more stain on the bolts ??
thinking about it so long as the bolts and threads are good nick should be ok
just use some washers or some 15mm thick sheet metal

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
yeah true, ive used just solid brass spacers about 15mm. its temp tho as its all i had, ill get 15mm bar and weld it to the brace and re drill the holes. should be solid enough

Ive retained the lower brace between wishbones and have 1inch alloy spacers.
There is no extra strain on the bolts.. aslong as you use longer high tensile bolts.

Re: fiesta st170 turbo
you thought could be a problem with the waste gate or actuator causing the low boost ?? or maybe the map sensor
