You can get a 13 month MOT & keep the same expiry date.
Where? PM.
South Kirkby mate, far from you?
About an hour, probably not worth it haha.
I should be arriving at efi parts in 12 hours, im a little worried because Andy who fitted my box noticed that the actuator rod was rubbing, so he heated it up and adjusted it over to give clearance, but he said it could have damaged the actuator and the car felt slightly down on boost to him compared to last time he had the car.
This could also be because of the new walbro thats been fitted because scoff said he thought my old pump was on its way out the last time my car was mapped.
We shall see tomorrow, lets hope its all hunky dory.

Yesterday i made the trip to efi, the car was previously mapped to 275hp, scoff had to lower the boost at high rpm the previous time as it was leaning out, so he advised me to get an uprated fuel pump, which i did.
So today it made 285.2 bhp and 220 bhp on low boost, it feels f**king rapid, the midrange torque feels awesome, he told me he left a big dollop midrange, which you can really feel.
I was nearly late for work on the way home tho as the traffic around Runcorn was ridiculous with the M6 been shut!
So as scoff predicted, after fitting the walbro it was massively over fuelling, so he was right, the oem pump was fucked!
He was also really happy with how the car behaved, it took a bit of adjusting but it ran faultlessly with some healthy figures, he was happy, so i was happy :smile:
Scoffs little turbo..

Yo
U have a short walk to work?
No mate, its about 7 miles.
Its in the shed mate, yes im going to get it refurbished when i get round to it, my current box feels really tight!
Cheers buddy, i was actually going to say fuckit and stick it up for 3k when it pissed me off lol.
Cheers Steve
So today with the sun out i decided to give the bay a clean, its not perfect but its pretty good, i need to respray the inlet and get some autosol as ive run out so i had to polish the metal with maguiars compound, but its brought it up better than it was as everything was looking dull, i have also removed the clioturbo sticker off the boost pipe haha!

Shhhhh :wink:
No update, im just putting a little list of the small things that i want sorting/maintaining when i have time.
New window regulator(my passenger one is noisy and goes up when i press down)
New fog light bulbs(one of mine is dead) - ordered.
Get the aircon re connected and re gassed.
New discs and pads front and back.
New oem shocks front and back.
New tyres front and back.
I really want another oem front splitter, i bought one a few years a go for £125iirc, but when my car came out of the garage it didnt have one on, and the garage denied it. They are £200+ now tho
Then my brain will rest knowing my car is perfect!
