No, not had it remapped. I've toyed with the idea of a cold air intake and possibly a sports cat/down pipe replacement but should I go down that route the car will definitely be getting a remap.

I thought you needed a re map even with a back box change... just to be safe

What are people's thoughts on running a catch can or air oil separator?
I like the idea of the air oil seperator but don't like what I've read about moisture / gunk buildup.

I'd always thought that when using a catch can that the entire OE breather system was junked, but yours might be a great alternative.

Thanks Rob for the reply, does that mean in effect that you've got a part OE / part catch can system in place? How much residue do you find in the catch can?

So when on boost the pcv slams shut and everything goes into the catch tank and not into the intake. Get a bit of oily residue in the tank, more watery than anything from the hot gasses passing through.
cambelt time
Just some thoughts, getting Cambelt done this week or next, is it worth doing it has a full kit change with water pump etc , is there a problem with the pumps etc ? or is it more of what the hell might as well change it all as its off,

No point in changing the waterpump, they rarely go wrong to be honest. Just a belt and inspect all other tensioner and pulleys

Iv got one custom made by teg sport as I didn't want to buy a cheapy kit as they don't work aswell as the good kits and the better the cooler works the better your car will run and the more bhp's you will get lol ,, I'm fitting my kit next week but they have said no cutting will be needed so should be fairly easy

They do look fantastic, i managed to get the cheap fan cowl on ebay to go with it too.
Just would like to know if they do actually cool better and reduce the rate of temp increase when in traffic.

Cosworth one only managed 475bhp during mapping on my car during it's build with Jay.
Perrin one is cheaper i think and clearly worked better (in hatch install at least)
