No mate, tried the diode mod with no joy, speedy cables made me a signal amplifier but that didn't work. They now have the speedo to see what they can do. Once I have it back I will let you know the score.

I'll give him a ring, I've only just bought the turbo off him, used admittedly.
I was assuming it wasn't the turbo or mapping but something else, maybe not then.

No mate, going to rebuild the engine and change the turbo to a Gt3071 so that should cure the problem.
