Thats a cool little car you have there mate, fair play to ya.. Have you the turbo kit on long? Maybe think about some kind of heat shield between the airflow sensor and turbo, to prevent it melting after a good hard drive!

Dont get me wrong it hasent been plain sailing it had a few hic ups but then again if you boost any engine or try to get power out of something you have to think about everything else i blew the standard diff.standard headgasket and put uprated pads in it but havent had any bother now for over a year and it gets driven on boost everyday very hard on petrol tho lol
No intercooler with the Greddy kit will put one on eventually have an oil cooler to go on just dont know where to mount it think it looks pretty cool outside the bumper just dont know how legal that would be lol

Was going to fit the oil cooler this week have seen on the net people mounting them outside the bumpers which i think looks pretty cool and also would get cooled alot quicker tho i just dont know how legal it would be anyone have any ideas?
