Not R/R it mate. When I had the Revo software put on it it came back with a vac leak, boost was fine but no timing could get sorted. I have just changed the vac hosing and if it is fine when it goes back for its timing then I will be getting the Revo Linear map upgrade and then sorting a R/R to see what it's running.

Thing is it's already quicker than my R32 and GTA - the GTA was 262bhp when it was R/R so I'm hoping similar figures.

Aiming to spend a full day tomorrow on it as I'm finally happy exterior wise so will be needing new pics

cant wait to see some propper pics T, how comes you left the 249 on there then? get rid or at least move it out of site, mines tied behind the charge pipe out of site.
you should do the PCV removal mod and get a catch can, prone for the leakage under there...

I was unsure where to move it etc, only realised late on that I can just zip tie it away.

Noticed better low rev pull but the boost tails off more top end now, going to change the spring to yellow as it's still green in the DV!! Think that will help.

Hoping when I go back to awesome that I can now have the timing set... Fingers crossed

Looking good mate, What size vac hose did you use? you can tuck the N249 below the charge pipe:

you can just make it out to the left of the DV hose to the charge pipe.

Cheers mate and will do that today... Haha now actually.

4mm: Under inlet to Fuel pump and under inlet to DV top
8mm: top inlet to bulk head

I have loads of 4/8/10mm left hoping I don't have to search out anymore

Cheers to the guys at awesome for finally sorting my vac leak... Even I it did turn out to be Spark plugs but cheers all the same haha.

Revo is now timed and I'm loving it, seems more grounded and traction seems better also.

Just ordered some Red clear vinyl - hoping it works for what I want.

Once it's here and other little bits I'll get new pics, been holding out as I am making a few subtle changes to the outside to finish her off.

Loving the club! Haha hoping to sort it though.

Splitter wasn't hard at all just time consuming more than anything. If you are tempted I'll give you a detailed break down mate.

My laminex came today... Cannot wait to do this! Kit is very good with instructions and a squeegee!!!
