none normally but mine is idleing a touch dodgy atm but i think another sensor is playing up, but mine is going in for a management change in a month or two anyway... i have a superchips chip and uprated fuel reg uprated pump exhaust and filter that see's close to 300bhp altho people argue the ggr 305 doesn't give the true 305 .... i have a powers graph for mine for 298bhp 320lbft so cant be a bad conversion


if you need a uprated pump tho gimme a shout i have 2 bosch 003 pumps now

mmm im really considering this, think it will make a lovely road car with 300 bhp, just abit worried about the chocolate turbo which works perfectly @ 225bhpbut i think @ 300 its pushing it alittle, and really dont want to be shelling out for a new t28 as ive just brought a new place
