I'm the same, had mine a month. It already has a few things fitted. Here are a couple of things off the top of my head.

Blitz Nur Spec full system
Decat down pipe
Front mount intercooler
Turbo smart BOV

Also has various engine internal parts upgrades too.

And I assume the exhaust/fmic are map-tweaked? ESPECIALLY the fmic?

And why the d/v? No gains whatsoever, and possible troubled running and long-term engine damage?

Hi there, everything thats on the car was already fitted by the previous owner who had the car for years. The bottom end eventually gave up at 100k and the engine was fully rebuilt with new crank, pistons, rods, bolts etc.

The folder of work receipts would scare the crap out of you, I even have the original sale receipt from new! According to the history, it's been tweeked to suit the mods but I'm having it checked and mapped again for safety. It goes really well as it sits now but I'm being careful at the same time until it's checked out. The last two dyno graphs are 283bhp and 297bhp. The latest being 2 years old now.

Honestly, I have little knowledge of what other hardware is fitted so I'm going to check the fuel pump, ECU, injectors and so on today out of curiousity.

As for the BOV, I've literally read how bad they can be just this morning assuming my car still uses the MAF.
