Mine's my daily so it usually only sits for 12 hours between each drive. The battery is easy to disconnect, just an allen key.

My chromed inlet manifold is now sold, just waiting on a guy to send through his manifold and some cash then i'll be sending mine off. I'm going to take it to a local polishers this time. I've also managed to get another throttle body cheap, so i'll either get polished or paint it black.

Not much been going on recently. My carbon baffled catch tank arrived today, just waiting for pipework so that will get fitted next week. The chromed inlet manifold is now sold and my new one is getting powder coated black, hopefully i'll get it back and fitted next week too. The new throttle body is all ready to be painted over the weekend providing the weather is nice!

Small update:

Ben kindly bolted on a K03s for me today just to give that car a little more kick:)

My ECU has been sold to another member on here and mine now has a custom Jabba map. Well impressed! Where mine spiked and dropped boost before, the K03s just keeps pulling! I'm sure on day i'll want to go BT but this will do me for a while:)

Had a call from the powder coaters yesterday and my inlet manifold is ready for collection. My 2nd throttle body is now painted so that will all get bolted up next week after a few other little bits are done. All pipework is now here for the catch tank so hopefully that will be in next week too!

As i've got a week off the car will get a good clean, bits repainted etc etc....

Its good when you get a week off isnt it and you can just work on your car. Giving it a good clean, tidying up a few things etc.
Yeah i'm looking forward to it. There's so many little bits that always get forgotten that i'm hoping to get sorted.

I'm well happy with it, thanks mate. I'll pick it up tomorrow on the way back from the powder coaters.

It went well on the way home last night I had a wife that was screaming so had to bake off lol

I just had Ben telling me to go faster! Good fun though, such an improvement over the standard turbo.
