Still sat in the garage feeling sorry for itself! Wish this bloody lockdown would come to an end been waiting for what feels like a lifetime for it to be mapped! Unfortunately for me coming to my house to map it doesn't count as essential travel!🤣

BOOM! And we're back on the road. Can't wait to finally see it again mate. You'll have to put some miles on it over my way, or we'll arrange a meet up and I'll bring the camper.

Done just over 200 miles now on this engine.
Also fitted the FMIC this weekend.
I need to get a different Air filter as this ones a bit big and can i hardly shut the bonnet lol...
ignore the crappy catch can set up that's just temporary.

Yes i know i need to sort the yellow headlamp lenses out!!




Probably going to paint the intercooler black and put a black mesh in front of it. Not keen on the silver.

It really does look good!
I had that problem with the cone filter lol, got over it by going rotated turbo, still got the dent in the bonnet liner tho.
Looks to me like you cut a bit more out of the bumper than i did, you must have taken a brave pill berfore hand, how many times did you have the bumper on and off? I counted 9 times.

You can still buy those lenses, i got them from the U. A. E. Of all places.

lol...not going rotated!
I only took the bumper off twice just took a deep breath and went for it!! Yeah probably cut off a bit more than needed but never mind.
Not sure what to do about the lenses, really dont fancy fecking them up in the oven to be honest.
