Hi Gregg and Imogen. Just found your channel, binged all the videos and subscribed! I really love the father/daughter vibe. I am 72 now and on my last project I think (1998 BMW 840Ci). I have tried to get my son, (42 now), interested, but he does not want to know, so you are really lucky. Back in 1988, I had an Escort RS Turbo (REALLY wish I had kept that!) and my best friend had a Renault 5 GT turbo. We both had our cars up-rated by Turbo Technics in Newcastle, and they did a great job. I can probably give you bits of good advice, I've been tinkering for over 50 years and restoring for about 12 years, but the problem with KZbin as I see it is that every commenter is an expert, so you need to be careful who you take notice of. Anyway, good luck with the project, and remember it is normal to lack motivation every now and then and get totally fed up with it.

Thank you for your kind comment and pleased you are enjoying our videos. Think we will be contacting turbo technics soon to organise either the turbo to be fixed… or worse case replacement. Hope your restoration goes well.

Hi really like the videos.Well done both of you. I think the problem with the plate is contamination. I'm not an expert on plating, but from what I've seen there's usually a couple of cleaning/acid dip process before going to the plating bath as they need to be spotless. The other thought is that the marks look like where you rubbed your finger after the first round in the plating bath. Keep going, it's all a learning curve. ;-)

Thanks for the tip! I think you might be right… given it a quick light sand and going to try again!
