get a 16v mate! ha! nah i read something bout the vac hoses on 8v digi's if theyre slightly perished they make ahuge difference when replaced cos its measured by the ecu and adjusts accordingly. basically kev clean ur car up properly under the bonnet so you can see the engine, then make sure it all works. banging popping sounding like a shotgun earlier it needs setting up!
