Yep, first with mineral oil and then on to semi synth at 1000 miles.
My hatch rebuild with ET got 352 bhp on a conservative map and she drives brilliantly, will be going back later this year for injectors and turbo and another Martyn remap.
Yes they've already done 1 oil change at 50 miles, then will do another at 500 miles then final one at 1000 miles.
Was your 352bhp with standard cat (the downpipe section)? Im really not fussed on any more than this as not wanting to lose stock exhaust setup although I have got a straight centre section..

This was with the prodrive quad muffler and a 2.5 H&S mid-pipe in place so nothing particularly more free flowing than OEM and yes standard cat in place. In fact the only other real difference to your setup is I still have the OEM airbox with a Cosworth panel filter rather than an induction kit.

That's good news. I only got the K&N as got a really good deal I couldn't say no to. Sounds really nice from the minimal revs I'm allowed atm.. bet sounds ace when can put my fit down. Sounds like it has a BOV
Anyway, back to living off super noodles for 5 years to help cover my bill
Went for remap after running in period on Wednesday but Martyn said the original fuel pump was struggling so had to halt proceedings.
Ordered new pump and filter from RCM the next day and fitted.
Annoyingly it's also developed a misfire when cold, goes as soon as up to temp. This was before the pump was fitted and on startup the day after the attempted remap so hoping just a gremlin
Need to take it back at end of month to finish the remap, thinking going to be around 340bhp when done
As a footnote, when removing the fuel pump / filter, make sure you don't have more fuel in the tank than pictured else you'll end up with a driveway covered in V power
Id be pulling the Injectors and have them flow tested , because Id worry otherwise
Although if it goes away , then its probably a wire / connector to a sensor.

Not far off mate, when the ancillaries were re-attached the connector from loom to injector wasn't quite pushed fully home. Once realised all issues resolved
Its always a good feeling when the fault is found and the car runs like it should. By the way yours has now matched (exactly) my Bhp and just pipped me on Torque , bet you are pleased how well it goes, :-) Now be careful , I know its tempting but remember Cars with Radio's, blue Lights and Camera's are the fastest. :-) Enjoy.
