ok mate CheeRS reason i ask is mine was in 2day getting looked at since it aint been touched in 18month had the plugs changed,new temp plug thing emi bob ( the one that redards the ignition or summit ) think the ign was retarded a bit as well cleaned air filter ( was well manky ) anyway the point is it seems to go better now comes on boost sweeter aswell. didnt think that little things like that would make so much difference.

There's a knock sensor that retards the ignition - if that was iffy and is what he has replaced then it will feel perkier thats for sure
