Threw out everything that was in the boot apart from my oil, water, deicer, sub and amp. It now lives back in my bedroom. Also threw the fibreglass enclosure in the skip lol.
Decided I wanted to run my turbo properly so put it back to standard. then it was only running 5psi of boost which was really slow. had a little fiddle in the dark, but no good. Turbo manifolds burn when you touch them by mistake. doh.
Fiddled a bit more in the daylight. Lucky I had a pic on my pc of the wastegate so I adjusted it somewhere close to that. Now it's lag-free and smooth as ever. I'll miss having the huge burst at 5000 rpm though. Will have to wait to get a k04 on there later in the year.
Also popped some 100/80w bulbs into my headlights to see how they perform with the uprated loom. Have to wait a few hours to let you know the results!
Also started to polish my inlet manifold. Only did about a 3rd of the top of it, but it's getting there slowly.
*update*
The lights are bloody awesome! I only had them on dip and gareth asked if that was main beam lol. main beam is like daylight! The bulbs aren't even the phillips blue ones. only cheap things. but they're super bright now. can't wait to drive down a lane lol
