Sounds good mate, so when you get the uprated cooler, you should be on par with Karl's?
Overall am very happy with the car. The kw v3s are now bedding in nicely and when the car hasn't got boost leaks everything gels together well.Hi Maz,
It's great to hear that the boost leaks have been temporarily solved, but I can see how this might test your patience. How are you feeling about the car overall Maz? Hopefully you'll be sticking with it. On the upside of the niggles, it must be reassuring and motivating to known that you have one of the nicest examples around, IMO, and with the final additions to the performance of the car I would hope that any uncertainties over having a petrol vehicle will be disolved.
I look forward to seeing the results of avenues being explored; it's encouraging to hear that so many are willing to help. Enjoy the nice weather

Thanks for the kind words. I am a little disappointed that I haven't progress with the "next step project" and I have been wanting to do some engine improvements visually. These teething issues and the problems at work really has halted everything. I just feel the car isn't as nice as it could be currently but hey might just be me.
I still got lots planned I just hope I get a good break to kickstart the whole project!
Cheers for the kind words James. Appreciate it as always.I'm sure that all it will take is a gentle nudge for things to get moving. Hopefully by mid May, Forge will have come up trumps, and this will give you a boost. It's easy to forget just how much people achieve with their cars over a period of time. Ownership=love/hate relationship... By far, this is one of the nicest examples on here IMO. Plus the fact that it's a diesel makes me curious; I certainly look forward to seeing where it takes you. Especially the engine cosmetics. Carbon?

..........Nothing over top as I prefer OEM+ look.
My thoughts exactly mate. Keep it OEM-ish. Its so much better to make a load of small, subtle changes that when all put together look cohesive and as if they should have been OEM had they spent the extra £20k at the factory!!!
...plus it keeps it more towards being unique with your own stamp on it. Keep at it Maz.
Still plumbed in - sitting next to alternator.Hi Mate, when you fitted your SFS pipes what did you do with the vaccum box that was fixed to the old hard pipework?
Hi James,Hey Maz,
Sounds like you've had a productive day with D.K. Good whether for it. I think I read right that you recently purchased a last touch type product, which was meant to reduce dust/debris attraction by quite a bit. What are your thoughts on it now that you've used it a few times?
James.
Hi James,
Yea had a good day Finished around an hour ago so absolutely shattered and my back is playing up
Main thing is DK is over moon with the result so better get the writeup done quickly before he changes his mind!
There are two products that I feel genuinly work BUT the price point makes them an expensive toy. First product is FK425 and second is Ziano Z6 pro. Both work to repel dust but you ideally need to apply weekly so takes some dedication to keep on top of things. They are both quick detailer products so I suppose it doesnt take too long to apply, Z6 takes more care however.
I am more impressed with 3M Quik Wax. Now this is a cracking product as you can apply on the car wet or dry. Doesnt take long to apply and its the most effortless wax is ever used. It can prolong the "expensive" layer of protection almost indefinately if apply weekly or every 2 weeks. I been using it for 1 month now and just cant see myself not using it in future.
Maz
