relative4 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Aha, that was new to me. Yet another reason I'm happy I have an '05 instead of an '07-'09. Anyway, once you have those sealed up, I bet you see some much happier numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VespaGTS Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Aha, that was new to me. Yet another reason I'm happy I have an '05 instead of an '07-'09. Anyway, once you have those sealed up, I bet you see some much happier numbers. The back TGV cover plate is going to be tough. I had to order some ultra slim offset Phillips screwdriver handles in order to remove the bolts and seal the leak. Even with a offset screwdriver there was not enough room between the turbo body and the bolt head to get in there. Otherwise I am removing a lot of big pieces that I don’t want to.

NickCawks Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Glad to hear you figured it out! those stupid TGVs. Id say delete it, reclaim your 5 hp, and use your AP to stop this from triggering a CEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say delete it, reclaim your 5 hp, and use your AP to stop this from triggering a CEL. We can easily get below 0°F here so I not sure if that's the best idea. Unless it will start and run at that low temp without issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relative4 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Keep the TGVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCawks Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 there is a few ways that people have found to get an engine with TGV deletes to cold start better, but sounds like a safer bet not to delete. I retract my ricey statement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VespaGTS Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I am keeping the TGV system. It is working, just leaking/sucking air. One more to seal and it will be airtight again. Tools should be here Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
