well as my work has a rul;e that means i have to have a manditory 2 weeks holiday each year, i decided to take mien and use it to its fullest. check list so far.

turbo oil feed leak fixed
custom made an engine brace and fitted that
new coil fitted with new connections
fiddled with the intercooler piping etc to get it fitting better
fixed the plenum valve boost leak.
just the AFR sensor to get fitted in the next few days..but so far all is good..it revvs nicley , pulls strong and boost as it should ( up to 3psi as ive got the bleed valve shut till the afr is fitted and the fuelling checked.

but happy days its finally running like a normal car rather than a stuttering peice of shit :)

That's more like it .......

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

finally got my AFR sensor mounted today..and im pleased to say once did a couple tweaks to the idle mixture and fuel pressure its running pretty much spot on...alittle towards the richer end of the scale in low revs before leveling out petty much spot on right up until full boost at 5-6psi ..just a tiny boost leak to sort (damn plenum valve AGAIN)
my kad style bonnet has been ordered and on its way...and with the changes to the front grill should have it looking MUCH better
