Couple of things, this was decatted and remapped to 270!

Do they have a wastegate? This had the awesome flutter when you lifted the pedal and sounded sweet!

What is the price of a set of tyres?

Can't wait to get one now!!

Thanks, Matt

its not the wastegate fluttering (i hope for your sake) its the refcirc valve releasing excess charge back into the airbox. tyres are anything from 60-70 to 150 a tyre depending on how much you value your life.

Ah, my bad! Thought it was the a wastegate! Sure did sound god and pulled like mad, just wish I could have ditched the salesman and really opened it up!
Roll on 2007!

Poor bloke, must be a record. Hasn't even bought the car yet and it already needs fixing!

One would assume if they have chipped it AND de-catted it, then they would have the knowledge / experience / tuner that would have put in a better quality wastegate.

Diverter valve (a.k.a dump valve)... not wastegate. The wastegate isn't something you can change or uprate easily, if at all, on these cars.
