well il get some pics up after dinner. I eventually started after buying some axel stands at 11.30 and finished at 6pm  :shocked: :shocked: :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :laugh: :tongue:

the job is very easy if you take your time, front bumper comes off in 20 mins tops, its just all the stupidly fiddly screws that take alot of time.

so it took a while, i was left with 2 more screws than i started with  :lipsrsealed: :laugh: so god knows where they go.

THEN just as id finished, bolted the battery on, turned the engine on, everything was fine so i slammed the bonnet.............but forgot to link the cable back up behind the drivers side light  :sick: so i cant lift my bonnet now  :sad: anybody got and suggestions?

drivability is NOTICABLE!! the turbo spools up quicker and also holds onto the boost longer, my turbo gauge read 12-13psi @ 4k-6krevs, it now holds boost upto 6k and doesnt drop below 15 :afro:

so after a long day and learning alot about my car, it was worth it, oh and remember that ive never had any experience in mechanics before, and the last thing i did was fit my dv which took about 4hours  :laugh: so its doooable  :smiley: :smiley:

undo the wheel arch liner and you should be able to get hold of the cable
