If it's dry, no problems at all.

If it's wet, lots of problems.

Phew, got the car sorted now for knockhill/the ring.

green injectors back in, 3 Bar Map sensor, ECU program swapped, new actuator, boost set to 1.8BAR new GroupN engine mounts (stop the engine moving in high G corners. To do this i had to take the throttle body off etc.) new exhaust mounts to raise it so it doesnt hit the ground in the Karousel. (needed the seat coming out)

Not a bad days tweeking.

Looking forward to runs in both cars Johns

Why all the bits out ecu/injectors john? - you got dodgy emissions?

Possibly martin, but i have the standard injectors/map sensor/ecu so why risk it.

Probably would have been OK but i destroyed the lambda sensor when my turbo disintigrated, the exhaust turbine blade took a chunk out of it as it worked its way out of the exhaust at 70,000rpm so the closed loop emisions on the greens isnt working on idle, didnt want to have to fork out £100 for a sensor that never gets used on the westie normally, i mean, whats idle.

Plus, i have de-cated it too.
