Dreamscience Mod X is the Dreamscience Map designed for maximum power - works great and you can feel the difference between Mod C.

Booking mine in soon for the clutch and diff so can start work on the engine

My cais is all fitted now and seem to have some more pooping for some reason, Also feels quicker but that could just be in my head.

Damn the downpipe though.

2 bolts out piece of piss but one stuck and started to round so gave up and put it back together. On refitting one of the bolts it started to damage the thread so i have left it out.

Looks like a job for a pro. Anyone know anywhere in essex, Either that or Im going to have to wait until it gets mapped.

Annoying though and would like to get it done before hand.

Good idea to fit new bolts with the new downpipe so if you can't get one of them out I'd just cut it off!

I'd imagine the bolts to be past there best after being forced/heated to get off. i wouldnt have piece of mind refitting the old bolts.

Get new gaskets for the down pipe while you're at it.

im happy to fit new bolts but if you could see how tight it is up there you would realise cutting it off is just not going to happen i dont think.

you will need an exhaust centre too heat them and take them out mate... so might aswel have them heat the manifold and take the studs too if they are stripping threads.

if you was closer i would have said my bro would lend me the ramp down kwick fit to help out.....

any tyre and exhaust centre could remove them, or jamsport will do it no problem
