Another thing is i have found the intercooler is v close to the underside of the bonnet. i got a vent to go in soon but in the mean time i have lifted the back of the bonnet 30mm to help with cooling. hope thats some help.
I have juat done this conversion and having the same issue with not starting off the key but when you bridge the two wires at the starter motor it turns over, is there any other way round this rather than fitting a start switch ......
thanks
