So far Yeah, it's much quicker when I give it some, but the most impressive thing is how I don't have to wring it's neck to keep up with traffic on faster roads and when im joining motorways. Been driving it (mostly) sensibly all day and the needles hardly moved on the fuel gauge too. So far would recommend them but it's early days lol

also done mine a little while ago,the air tank are good fun to fit as they have got the small tab on the end of the tank

sprayed it with dinotrol before i installed the air tank , fitted a new reservoir valve at the same time

did u have trouble getting the bolts out, was very impressed with the condition of the chassis , absolutely solid throughout

Aye @gstuart, chassis solid as a rock

No, bolts came out like they were new. Found a slight leak around orange pipe on reservoir cap, so will try some resin to repair if that fails then I'll order a new cap

the metal caps seem to be better , with the brass push fits , will u also replace ur silica when removing the cap

had a nightmare getting the air tank bolts out, fitted all new stainless steel bolts

fitted a new compressor on mine and wow what a difference it made

did u also use the iid to re calibrate ur suspension , is good that if u fit new height sensors it normally has to be redone with a T4 , but not needed as the iid will do all of it as well

Changed Diif , Transmission and G Box oils, how does someone manage to put more oil into the Gbox and tbox than are above the filler plug level, All down my arm it was...LOL.

Also a new fuel pump, so it now starts OK.

Plus a new front cover to stop the oil from covering the front of the engine.

Cheers

Did it run into your armpit... yuck....

Refitting headlining after leak fix and recover....

They must have run it up a ramp backwards to get at the filler plugs?

Thank you @1988smithy, happy with it. Got the material from Martrim, really great quality, dense foam and a lovey fabric finish. Bit of a leap of faith going for the black, but chuffed with the outcome.

agree , that looks the dogs wossits ,

sometimes u can never tell what the outcome will be like, especially with headliners

if i may say a fantastic job there mate

Reduced the number of visible threads on the wastegate arm from 13 to 11, and just back from a good run. The turbo spools up sooner, and the engine itself pulls for longer at higher revs. It's so much nicer to drive, and gives much more confidence to overtake something, or pull out in to traffic.

Did you get a live viewing on the nanocom to see what the system was doing?

Yep. Noticed that the wastegate modulator was a lot more busy and the manifold pressure seems to be a smidge higher (around 225 compared to about 220 previously). The problem was that as it's Manx Grand Prix week over here, so there's a lot of traffic, and the climbs that I wanted to push the engine up had Sunday drivers on them, so the figures may even be better when I can actually give it a better thrashing. I still can't get the Air Flow to go much above 500 though, but that may be due to my driving style of not revving much higher than about 3k.

Actually, now that I compare the two graphs side by side, the EGR system seems to be really really busy since changing the wastegate. The graph on the left is today, compared to before making the change on the right. Any suggestions as to why this would be are welcome.
