Performance:
At first it was mapped when it had a 2" exhaust on.
With first map it made 178bhp @ fly - 190Nm.
I was a little disappointed.
The guy mapping it suggested the exhaust was simply to small in diameter. Then had a 2,5" exhaust made and got it mapped again yesterday.

Baseline result before new map was 182bhp @ fly - 200Nm
After a little tweak of the ignition map the result was a healthy 198bhp @ fly - 230Nm
Very surprised of the difference an exhaust and a new map can make!
Best part is i can feel the extra power!
Now - I'm not disappointed anymore! :D

Next step is ITB's - need to rob a bank though!

Michael wheres the pics of the orange beast????

Whats the "“No spillage” modification of servo fluid reservoir " mod?

I'm sure most of you had the servo fluid spill all over the engine bay.
I've had this happen even when there was the correct amount of fluid in.
Sometimes it just gets too hot - so it spills out the little vent hole.

I've taken a pipe normally used for extracting fuel from fueltanks when installing parking heaters. Cut it to length, drilled a hole in the cap, conneted a small hose which end just behind the right front wheel. If anything comes out on a hot day at the track - at least its not in my engine bay. I know it should be collected somehow so it would not end up on the tarmac - anyway it would end on on the tarmac even without this mod.

Pics to follow....
