Yeah maybe, but they don't fit a 90 litre fuel tank in the diesel and a 100 litre one in the V8 for nothing do they?
There is no way my diesel auto can be described as sluggish. If you have a sluggish car it is sick.
Mine has the ECU chip Ant. If you poke it it flies but uses a little more fuel. If i wanted to go really fast i would get the Porsche up and running, but that really does drink titty.
Steve is going to have a look at it tomorrow night but based on Datateks info I had a look at the rubber hose connecting the plenum chamber to the MAP on the filter and it looks and feels a bit crap, is this a replacement part or can any old rubber tube be used, given the amount of oily deposits I washed from the intercooler I imagine it's fairly gungy in there......... there was a lot of soot in the plenum chamber which leads me to to suspect the coupling is also gunged up

Wait until you need to pull something heavy then you'd wish you had an auto !
Yep that will do 1/8" in old money. Well actually 1/8" spill pipe, the 3.2 is just a vain attempt to convert us to Froggy measuring.

I still measure in feet
A lot less mistakes made in feet and inches than with metric. In engineering we used both. But to differentiate when speaking, we used as an example. Three comma two would be 3.2 mm. Three point two would be 3.2 inches. A bit of a difference if misunderstood.

Had a look, the car seemed to be short-shifting so it was always off boost. I noticed that the becm thought the car was a motronic petrol. Changed it to robust edc and the gearbox now seemed to change correctly allowing the engine to make boost before upshifts. Dunno if it's the placebo effect. But it seemed better. Time will tell.

Sure as hell it would not work correctly with the wrong engine type set.
