Thanks. We will see probably a novice day and not one where everyone is watching me! Luca needs to do a bit more persuading I'm not convinced!

Heres a wee read for you:

http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/t...ing_News.shtml

Explains about the 4th piston. Not read it for over a year but IIRC it says it was all pointing to a certain tuner.

Heres a pic of mine:

Well took the car to JKM Performance to stick it on the dyno and check it all over....
Here are the results!



Really happy with that





And a quick pic with the trolley cause I couldn't resist.

Paul - I did have a read of that the other day. It was posted up on ZSOC and spent a while having a good read through it. Was pretty interesting and if I did go up that route, it would definitely be a tuner that I know and trust.
