I wouldn't have just used petrol for a no reason... 
ITG suggested it's the easiest and cheapest thing to use and works just as well as their specific cleaner.
It "melts" (for lack of a better word; I have just woken up...) the old filter oil and draws the crap out of the foam also. You need to massage the foam to get all the crap off the surface. You will be shocked how dirty it is! I didn't use water at all, just petrol...
I would suggest using about 3 litres of petrol to clean thoroughly.

I may give it ago... Did u just put it into a bucket and do it that way, I was going to do it with soapy water, then rince is out a couple of times, untill all the soap had gone. Did it take long to dry?

Pour the petrol all over the filter and allow it to rinse through. I left a bucket underneath just to collect the dirty fuel. Massage the filter and just try to get as much dirt and grit out of it an then leave the filter to air dry (dunno how long this took, I left it for over an hour as I was doing other things) then respray the filter with ITG's filter oil.
Done mine, gets loads of dirt out... Did you wash it after? As mine stinks of petrol obviously lol

Power wise i wont be going further for a while.
Got my debadged grill with K1 badge. Was going to fit it tonight fingers crossed. The heavens have just opened at the moment though Will post pic when it is eventually on the car though
JKM state that if i had uprated Fuel Pump it would of gone over the 300Bhp mark. But i will get that another time £700 seemed a bit much for 2-3bhp

My stock clutch is fine and I'm on Stage 2+
I'm under no illusions that the clutch will last as long as it would have done without any modifications but he-ho!

I've no doubt a standard clutch can cope with stage 2+ guess I'm either unlucky or the guy before me wasn't to bothered about maintaining it. Oh well it's booked in for a new stock clutch next week as I've only had it 3 months n there covering it under warranty!
Thats a nice result Lee, how loud is the exhaust system? I am tempted but I dont want domething thats too loud.

Why £700 for a fuel pump? APR? Autotech internals can be purchased and fitted for between £300-£400.
Still, I wouldn't bother at Stage 1.
