So I finished work early today and seeing as it was dry I decided to do some long overdue maintenance
Firstly I pulled off the 007p and gave it a good clean out as I don't think it had ever been done
Then I set about taking the throttle body off which was just pure filth so that got a good polishing through
Customised my new engine cover to fit properly just needs spraying/wrapping to look pretty
Sorted my gear shifter alignment to get first gear easily
Did an oil and filter change
And lastly moved my catch can down a bit
After all of the above the car is now so much better was pushing 11-12 psi now at 15-16 pulls so hard now so happy with it

An afternoon well spent then. Did you get the revised piston kit for your 007? If not then i would speak with forge. They normaly send one out in the post for free.

Bit of advice, I wanted to take the throttle body off to give it a good clean but was told if it is taken off it's need adjusting/setting with a computer ? Is that correct or just complete $&@".
Thanks
Mike.

It should be realigned technically. But the car relearned and aligns itself after so many miles. I've done mine a couple of times and never aligned it with vagcom.
If you've got a DBW kit don't force the butterfly valve. I you leave it plugged in turn the ignition one click and put something on the accelerator and it'll open it.
