It's been a VERY long time ago that I posted some pictures.
Some earlier MOT problems and also some problems with the BLOODY snow.

Right, everything is installed and they didn't have to cut anything BUT I now have a problem being that my boost pressure is WAY too high. It now peaks at about 2,1bar/30,5psi while it normally is "only" 1,9bar/27,5psi.
I've already been given the advise to turn the actuator rod 2 full turns but I can't even get it off the wastegate.
Will have to drive REALLY carefully now untill me or somebody succeeds in doing this.
The result:

Need to update this a bit.
Had to strip the front bumper due to the MOT and problems with the clearance and the bloody snow which ripped my carbon splitter off.

And then Friday 6th April 2007 was a day to remember.
I passed the MOT thing over here without changing ANYTHING.
Can you understand that after more then 1year of hassle.

Also had the car cleaned by some very good friends of mine who are also on this board.
I still can't understand that this is actually my car.
