After the work we done yesterday there was a stutter under load that we believed to be the spark being blown out so our first port of call was to get some colder plugs in it! With some bought we took out the old ones to find they were for a NA car and were only hand tight...

Next up was to remove the paint from the boost pipes for a bit of under bonnet bling...



We removed the aircon to make room for the big intercooler later on...



Then we fitted the ridiculously loud Blitz dump valve after blanking the built in one...



After a few test drives and tweaks and allowing the ecu to 'learn' it now is smoother than before and pulls well. We're limited now by the turbo and injectors so next week we're gonna concentrate on swapping the suspension from the donor car with it's Bilsteins and bigger anti roll bars. Will also be having the drilled and grooved discs and wheels off it.

If we have time after that and I've got some light blues we may put on the bigger turbo too
