it'll be putting out 230bhp and should be fairly reliable. I'm not anticipating any major break downs in the next few years.

I have to use a recirculating dump valve cos I'm using standard VAG management. if I wanted an atmospheric dump valve I'd have to use standalone and I've heard that isn't as good. I dunno. I'll just be happy to get it back.

vix, I'll sort your problem out soon.

it's only been mildly tuned though. removing the cat isn't really going to cause me any problems, but it does unlock some bhp. them putting on a decent air intake and small management tweaks. Probably less tuned than having it "revo'd"

i just think its gonna take a while to get it all running as well as it can.  it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if the cars back at designa dubs within the next 3 months being more finely tuned. im not saying DD are gonna do a sh!t job just that its complicated and problems are imo to be expected.

no fuel cap yet sarah, ill hassle rich  ;) :D

midland VW quoted me ?3500 when I was getting my quotes ages ago.

The car proabably will be returning to DD in a couple of months. that's the norm with new engine just to check over how they're running, etc.
