Typical rain now for the rest of the week which may delay mapping as we're taking it out on the road. Fingers crossed for a low boost base map though still from Martin Battye @ MB Automotive.

Now we've left no room to mount one and of course we had the bay painted etc.

Your idler pully for the alternator belt.
Fit a bigger one so the belt has a smoother radius or else it will just chew belts.
That from bitter experience
