No I had it painted, not re-fitted the splitter and under tray yet though.

It's easier to get on the dyno without it fitted.

Had a few mins on the car tonight at JKM

Fuel pressure seems fine, will be put on the dyno tomorrow hopefully to be checked over.

I fitted the rear light and hey presto, all looks great.

Happy to report all is well and JKM Performance have given the car a clean bill of health.

A fresh set of plugs some re-routing of the fuel lines/filter/pump and we're back in business.

Jim put the car back on the dyno to check things over and then called me with the update.
Boost was stronger than ever and holding longer and a few tweaks the car has a new figure under its belt!

Only tweaked the high boost map, only ever use that for topspeed runs or if I
Make a return to Pod with slicks.

Yes its fine, pointing to filter issue / pump having to pull from too great a distance.
Sounds a lot happier now.
As for Plugs... not sure yet will know tomorrow. Jim has tried a few different over past few weeks
