I might need abit more time too as Leighton said he will tweak mine also :)] Plusna your more then welcome to come along, i booked for 8 coupes and only got 6 definites so there will be room. pfoe i can't see a problem with you coming in a different car if Nick doesn't come or say hes a definite. Ash Should be there ash... even if it is only to check fuelling on current map! Ideally i will have exhaust off Eldinho, New chip and Larger turbo elbow all fitted by then... But UNLIKELY.. $\:\)$ So may just end up seeing if my current chip will run ok with larger injectors and smaller fpr, again UNLIKELY... but i'll be there!! Nick 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

Given how cold it is out there I would get Flea to map it more conservatively. You might not get det when the ambient is zero but in the summer it could be a different story!

I have bypassed the Unichip and will start mapping it tomorrow, btw I was being honest about... loving your car, it sounds just beautiful and the KWs really are the best suspension setup I have driven in for ride quality, it must be the Brava topmounts $\:\)$

With the boost leaks sorted it should be a lot more predictable
