Doy ou have proper anti lag or is it just for pops and bangs? (brings vac up to 0 but no positive boost made)

It is very bad for turbos, exhaust manifolds, etc! It is pretty bad for everything

It's mapped in mild for pops and bangs mate. When switched on doesn't do anything amazing except the popping. Only there for show if I'm honest and won't be used excessively.

Bought a OBP oil catch can and it's just landed. Just need to source some hoses now



Taking a trip up to fleetwood tomorrow to go see the boys at scoobyspares for them to give the car a once over on a few things I want changing. Will be arranging for the car to go on the rollers in the next few weeks to see what it's doing now. Will up date tomorrow

Jon did I post this or did you read my mind? need hoses so that's brilliant I'm going to get some ordered. Also want to change all the hoses on the fmic to black and try to source some andonised black clamps maybe get the pipe work powder coated black. Will have to wait till Ryan gets free

I got Maggy to powder coat my pipes - some nice shiny murray clamps work a treat too

Ill drop mags a pm Jon cheers. Have you put a filter on there so you don't need a hose to vent? The air filter in the wing I have is only small so will probs look for a bigger one of those aswell.
