today i have finaly got the fmic off and put the tmic on an what a differance its made, it pulls smooth no jerking between gear changes when beenig a tad spirited with accelerator and im convinced it must of had a leak on the fmic because the screaming noise has gone away when i give it a foot full.just cant wait to get the standerd air box back on then i might even see better mpg, if anybody ellse in the same boat as me bought a car so called tuned but with no receipts or paperwork get it back to standerd it feels like a new car im loveing it again .a scoob that has been messed with by numptys is just not worth driveing just to get the front bumper sorted now and im fully happy again.

 

What year car is it and what had been done??

 

its a 99 uk it had fmic un named ,big daft air fillter cat back exhaust it just drove jerkey and lumpy on and off boost now drives smooth and pulls like new its booked in next sat for a rolling road and check over i want a nice reliable car that will still move when needed up to now im happy with it

 

More than likely some numpty fitted all those goodies without having the car mapped for them.
Like you said, get it on a dyno for a health check buddy.

 

thats what gets me the car has full history recipts for alsorts but non for a map or any sort of tuneing ,just parts chucked at it ill get there in the end it was a bargain and bought with the proffit of my van so dont mind spendig a bit on it. but they are fast enough in standerd trim for a daily driver i think

 

You say that now

 

i dare say i will be craveing more power in the not to distant future but as work is slowly picking up again an the overtime creeps back in ill be in the market for a bug eye next and i think that will be the one to tune up
