Your ignition amp needs a heat sink put back on it. That wire looks a mess.  :laugh:

I would hazard a guess that it to stop a fault code popping up...

A lot of hassle for just that though!

i will strip it back at work tomorrow and add a pic... if i disconnect the wire added which goes to earth then start the car it fire's then die's... the only way to get the car to drive is to have the maf unplugged with this wire going to earth... if i plug it in it will splutter and back fire when i drive over 3.5k... got to get this sorted asap... f*cking cowboy bodgers  i hate them with a passion

How does it peform in its bodged state? Mine ran the same, maf plugged in it would turn over but not run, unplug maf and ran but used loads of fuel and performed like a 1.4, turned out it was a boost hose had blown off, didnt discover this till after I had fitted a new maf.

sounds just like mine buddy, also noticed the DV is a bit quieter aswell... may have to check all boost pipes... just out of curiosity what pipe was off on yours?
