lol cheers...yh 280 sounds about right i have had many cars that are front wheel drive and around 250 to 300 brake mark but more modern and obviosly 280 brake of roar power is gonna feel a lot quicker than boost limiters in first and second...i dont think the fans have been rewired but they do work as was out in it today and when we got in the fans kicked in so i left it ticking over for a few mins then they cut out on there own...well only one was working actually...is there any how to guides on doing this or is it just a case of tracing the wires back and making a new loom...

as regards to the fuel pump well there is an old one in the boot so obviously its been changed at some point but when its ticking over it sounds a bit rattly to be fair and also when driving there is some times an intermittent judder which feels like a fuelling issue to me so as you say the pump could be on its way out...or is that something else?

on further inspection actually the vac pipe from the fpr had blown out so i put this back in but it still did it...not much good when trying to hold a drift lol

i think the fpr has been adjusted actually or something...the cap has been flicked off the top anyway revealing the screw...i know on some vauxhalls this can be done so unsure whether on fords its the same???

also think i need to get a boost guage too as there is not one fitted...this way i will now for sure what the crack is so to speak!

how do i determine if my actuator is a -31 or standard or is a -31 what they are as standard?

also is it worth gettin a boost controller...been looking at the gizzmo and the blitz ones...are they worth it or should i just get a decent setup on it?

cheers again!
