you been calling my mobile or office?  I am only doing a few hours at the workshop this week, and Ben has been doing the mobile remap... I aint got a clue what Rob and Jim have been doing???

My engine will be ready to go back in next week, with stock oem 1.8t cam so we can run it up back to back to see where the exact gains are, then in theory we can do a real VVT remap which will work with the na cam and drilled offset cam pully.

SAI pump and combi valve removed and forge head blanking plate

I have read that when these are removed you get a warning light or something, how have you solved this as will be getting a de-cat so will not need the SAI
