Yup, all original including bumper that is plug and play.

Welding should just leave the weld as is. Looks like previous ones was shave clean and maybe was too thin.....

Ok la, stock everything also good, less headache :banghead:

What you mean leave the weld as is?

Manifold removed


Swapping out the actuator springs, hopefully this will give me a base 0.7bar boost


Simple workings of the actuator.

Speaking of fans, got ANOTHER SPAL puller fan this time to replace the aged Maradyne just for good measure. This one has a thicker and larger motor compared to the 13" pusher i bought and flows alot of air :biggrin:




Middle is the new SPAL puller, on the right is the SPAL pusher and on the left with the gold sticker is the old Maradyne.


Cool original SPAL bracket for my pusher. Need this if installing for pusher setup as conventional bracket will have it flush with the fan, leaving you no way to actually use bolts at the bracket.


And also bought a super fast reaction open-element NTC Intake Air Temperature sensor to replace the standard Mitsubishi closed-element style sensor.

Bro, gotta skip the Maradyne fan as earlier suggested. Funds too tight this round.

Actuator = wastegate?

Some update, manifold came back already and is already installed


When you buy a new manifold or when welding an old one, make sure you check for welding splatters which may come loose and wreak havoc on your turbine wheel. Saw this and grinded it off with a porting tool.


Also managed to replace my front LH side lower arm bush yesterday. Relatively easy to DIY, just 4 bolts literally. The front circular bush just hammer out and the rear square bush have to hold the bush with a bench vice and pry the arm out.


Old forward bush was really worn out and had freeplay in it, rubber also hardened and cracked already. These bush most probably was since the car came out from the factory in 2001.


With the new bush installed.




Installed the lower arm bush myself in around 1-2 hours time, will continue with the RH side later today. Do myself because mau save labour abit :laugh: . The forward bush was hard to get aligned because the rear bush hole is offset making the front bush offset slightly with the hole, have to use some brute force to get the bolt through.

Note to those interested in using PU bush, PU bushes NEEDS grease to work, please apply the grease that comes together with your bushing kit or search for Silicone Grease. If your PU bushing kit does not comes with or the seller claims it does not need grease, just walk away....

Dear all,

I'm driving the Saga BLM (A) 2010. Currently suffering powerless braking problem. Let me elaborate more on this matter.

When new car the brake feels ok but not really too good. After bout 9months feeling that the ORI pad cannot stand for high heat so decided change to Bendix Titanium. After change to Bendix Titanium, cool brake feel nothing while pedal have been fully pressed. For the Bendix Titanium i believe it can withstand for higher temp but too bad its fail me too...
