Very nice Paul, this makes me miss my old Black LCR :-( i like the extra touches of the color coded calipers and badges.
Any progress with the DTC's you had?

hi mate still got error code its doing my head in, its over retarding which i believe means getting to much oil pressure,
my mappers told me to check a few things so going to see if ut helps it at all,
will send you the gasket when you want it,
im not to sure about the rear badge but im happy with callipers,
seen your mapping is coming along now got the 320 are you happy?

no only had the vvt unit replaced last week and going away with work this week so not got it mapped yet, may get hybrid mapped and then begining of next yr stick bt as not going to be able to use power over winter,
so many options
hows your car
bit of a sqeeling noise i'm guessing boost leak but it's not bothing me enough to pull the bumper off yet. you need to get yours sorted after all the work thats been done on it
yh i no thats why i think k04 hybrids a waste, my engines had thousands spent on it so should put a turbo on it that will put 450 plus out just need to be carefull with money as also saving for a house at min where you think your leaks at?

dont know thinking about re doing all the jubilee's been doing it since i rebuilt the engine with a new high performance head gasket
high performance head gasket off ebay, rung the guy up about it and he talked to me for an hour about the design and that its the same used in the mk1 1000bhp golf he was very proud about it helping design it. Designed to 3 bar turbo pressure made with a different composite and an extra plate or something.
had a look today at the timing does this look correct?

Hi, Paul just been reading your thread mate and it looks like you were 1 roller out on the cam timing before. It's suppose to be 16 rollers between the marks on camshaft and i counted 17 on your piccy. Suppose it doesn't matter now if its all sorted - did you refit in exactly the same way or did you count the 16 ????
Cheers, Graham.

my aim is 450 - 480 bhp,
im currently in canada so looking at buying parts and bringing them back with me to uk to save on import tax
what are peoples opinions on these gtx turbos i want to be on full boost by 3.5 - 4k so its economical on the motorway
