After mine went bang I had an uprated oil pump fitted.
Then an uprated fuel pump.
Then a fuel pressure regulator.
Then a 3 port boost solenoid.
Then a boost gauge.
Then a Knock Link.
Then an EcuTek 3 map.
Then a modified heatshield refitted.
Then a re-circ DV again.
Then a few bottles of Millers in the boot just in case.

I hope I am safe now

also decatting the car will make it illegal and it will fail an MOT
this is simply not true. you can have a fully decatted car as long as your car passed emmissions then you are ok.

cheers

Actaully by law any type approved petrol engine car sold as a UK car after 1992 requires a cat to be fitted by the manufacturer.
Plus a decatted scoob wont pass an emissions test .

Well, my STiV went bang after a year on Optimax It had a full decat and no remap/ KL. I dread to think how often it would have been detting

Always warmed, cooled, driven fast but not thrashed. Maybe the V's are more susceptible, but in my experience, remap's are a must for import's!

Bob Rawle has now taken care of my former problems Should be running a safe 310 bhp+ now
