Well duh, course not! I left the knackered tyre on there as a mask when spraying the wheel. Didn't mention it in the thread but the tyre with paper on it is different wheel.

I read the thread and am mightily impressed by your DIY, welding, tuning, turbo building handiwork and low cost solutions How did you go about mapping it yourself? Ive studied electronics in college and have been doing my own car and electrics repairs for a while but have never learned much to do with engine mapping or chip tuning so I'm looking for any good info sources and what gear would I need or how would I go about learning this?

Thanks for the info. Now to do some reading and planning I might just have a go at this if funds and time allow.

Thanx. Much appreciated! The hoses are Gates rubber hoses from Car Builder Solutions ( www.nfauto.co.uk ). But later on I found I could have bought silicone hoses for the same price from this company: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Auto-Performance-Silicone-HosesThe tubing for the pipework came from work for free! But usually I get aluminium tube from ebay.

One question: Fill engine with pure water, and 10W/40 semi synthetic. I read that as you filled the whole engine (oilways etc..) with water? Or is it just my brain not working at this time?

Just your brain not working. Switch it off then on again! Fill the oil reservoir with oil, and the coolant reservoir with water! A strong word of advice for your future safety: If you ever pick ep a tin of food and the instructions say "Stand in boiling water for 15 mins." Please for the love of God get adult supervision!!

im questioning weather the iveco daily FMIC is a good choice on my 20vt... what do you think? Thanks for the comments everyone. The IVECO itself should work well but the orientation of the hose inlets makes it difficult to fit ( they point slightly backwards) - Well, actually I found it to be quite convenient on one side but needed modddifying on the other - which led to the end-tank breaking! The Universal Intercoolers one I have now is almost the same size and is all-metal, with the hose inlets in a more convenient place.

The Alfa is going well ta. I still have some problems with it not going into 1st gear when stationary on occasion, but other than that she goes and sounds great. I have sorted most of the other issues the car came to me with though except for the airbag light.
How many BHP have you got now do you reckon?
