As I am sure you are aware, this turd is not standard. IIRC it has some piggyback ECU malarky going on that was fitted by Paul Shepherd at Circuit Motors in Castle Coombe in Wiltshire. Paul has a good rep and I would be bringing it back to him. Aggro maybe, but a lot less than the aggro of giving it to somebody who has not got a clue and will rob you and make it worse.
Obviously have a look for air leaks and obvious problems first but I would be VERY careful who I let at it. The joys of modified turdz

Hi I'm just in hartlepool don't know if it's tapping a little or it's the way it should be as it's had a 2.8 cam and map in a little look over by some1 in the know to put my mind at rest.craigieeb wrote:Where in the north east are you?

It's like it's holding back at times over 30 mph it's fit as he'll I drive a new a6 so not sure if I'm just paranoid.
