If you're running over 2 bar of boost, the defi is out as it only goes up to 2 bar

When you find out how to fit them

I got a brilliant buy off a guy on MLR for 2 amber/red Defi BF's, control unit and GReddy oil adaptor plate. Just waiting for a pillar pod to arrive and then off to Dingys for him to fit them

I've just been on the phone to Gaz ordering a pillar pod I'll be taking my car there too, when it needs a service. His prices seem very reasonable.

Lynne - he's bang on!
I took my car there for the last service too they were excellent & the cost was very reasonable

I've got the major service coming up now & mitsi wanted £700+ for it

Everyone i've spoken to on the MLR reckon they'd rather buy an evo if it's got loads of service history by someone like CPP rather than buy one with fsh off mitsi.
