I would prefer to discuss this with you on the phone. I have tried calling you but got no answer. I don't want this turning into a slanging match as im booked in with you in June and want to keep our relationship on good terms, thats why i PMd you all my figures last night.

Hi Steve,
No intention of turning it into a slanging match mate but i have seen you regularly referring to how your fuel economy is worse and power a little less since I worked on it yet you never seem to mention that when it arrived it was running lean when it came in and had a throttle sensor fitted that didn't work making it lean globally, and knowing we have discussed this in person in some depth I cant help but feel a little short changed, given you know both these faults can lead to the missing mpg and power being discussed even if its not down to some missing boost at top end as we also suspect. We worked until 8:30 pm that night doing little jobs that the car wasn't booked in for like the DIY throttle bracket that wouldn't give full throttle and the fuel lines that needed moving as they were chaffing on the pulleys so we could send you away with a safe engine and all Ive seen from you is negative press referring to various rolling road power graphs that really cant be compared anyway.

Finally and back on topic we advised you to change your dump valve as it leaks beyond 23psi (Isnt that the boost you're now running?) and you didn't want to change it on the day. This obviously needs rectifying before you change your actuator. (This is detailed in your work report No: 20159 on page 2.)
