Check your firing order.
As you look at the cap the one in the 1 o'clock sort of position is number one, then go round the cap anti clockwise in the order 1,3,4,2

Yes thats correct.
I know and have also spoken to a number of people who have purchased some form of "RS Turbo technical data cd" from somewhere and its all wrong, which is about as much use as a cock flavoured lolly pop
