Cheers, nice BOV by the way!

I thought it was you but I wasn't sure, still in the process of setting up my new turbo, damn new exhaust caused the old one to blow up!

Ahhh...! I remember you saying now. (It's my age :lol: )

Thanks for the compliments! You need to see the car up close really. Paintwork is terrible on the bonnet and rear driver side quarter. Some feck paint strippered it a while back. It polishes up quite well though under the circumstances.

BOV's a HKS SSQ. Luv it! \:D/

Think yours will be ready for JAE? :-k

Ok, I'll come then! :D

Paintwork won't be great, and car won't be perfect, but then they never are I guess!

Think some emergency tinkering is required over the next few days!

YOUR paintwork isn't great....? Wait until you get a load of mine!! The rear quarter looks like someone's started eating it! :shock: :lol: :lol:

The bonnet is full of stone chips as well. I was thinking of doing it matt black and then laquering it, but ahhhh..... sod it! I'm just going to to my best at take the ribbing like a man.

The fact that I'll cry like a woman is not important. :lol:

See ya there buddy, glad you can make it. =D>

Ok, had a new exhaust, new turbo, and new brakes, and now the damn thing is overfuelling!

Will this never end!

What turbo did you have fitted? Do you have the standard ECU or a piggy back/standalone? Has it been mapped? Where did you have the work done?

If the turbo is of the uprated type (larger compressor, steel shaft etc), and the ECU hasn't been upgraded and mapped, that's would be why it's overfueling. :wink:

No, uprated turbo with standard ecu :(

Start saving for a power fc i think!

The tale of this turbo is long and complicated, trying to fit my speedhut gauges at the moment, just realised there's a bit missing!

Sorry I missed you mate. We left about 11.30. Just got things packed up and into the cars before the rain started. poo run back wasn't it?

Keep your chin up mucker. Your car's not that bad. Don't listen to Hyeline. They're trying to rip everyone off at the moment.

Gimme a shout if you want to go up to see Lee at V-Spec.

Tqake it easty mate.
