3dr running issues
car runs ok on full load, but under very light throttle - especially in 1st gear pulling off from stand still it appears to misfire (not one cylinder but all) or cut/shut throttle, difficult to explain..

By full load do you mean on boost perhaps? Have you checked the plugs as this could lean fuel related?

Yep but are plugs white after idling mate?? Could be so many things, e.g. fuel reg? Even TPS I guess? If it is lean you need to know asap eh?

I think I've narrowed it down to the TPS, need to test it... Any standard ones out there for sale??
