Re: need some moral support installing MS...

Loving that wee adaptor would make things a lot easier coz I don't fancy cutting into the loom just in case I do summit wrong

As for tuning MS does anyone have or can tell me where i would get a base map for a 2.7 motor?

Re: how much does it cost to convert your engine to 2.7??

Alrite mate

that would be my Sport :D

I got her from Wales about 3 years ago but didnt come with a 2.7 at the time. I did the 2.7 engine at the start of last year

Cost me about 1500 for all the parts but then i did re-build the bottom end with new bears and all
