I know finger well and often go out for local burn ups. His car runs spot on day to day as he uses it to travel to work. Theres no plumes of smoke on boost and is quick as hell. I cant smell fuel however i know they tend to stink a bit sometimes. My T020 in stock form some years back used to reak of v power in the cabin... twas nice though. Since having mods done and pfc and remap the fuel consumption is brilliant when driving normaly.
