its running 0.8. Boost controller has been turned up fully, to compensate for a currently mullered actuator

Made 195bhp, so just shy of T4. If you want to beat a focus at reasonable cost, you want to start with a T4 and do similar mods.
I was thinking about changing to a T4 but I know my car inside and out so reluctant to change. I'll be keeping this one and see what I can do with it until it stops fighting the good fight Next one will be a T4 or maybe an R of some sort.

It was a complete pain in the ar5e lol. The car was built around the diverter valve I swear. Once you get to that, then its easy enough. I did have the DV on before the MBC and it was decent enough.

I didnt think it was going to turn out as good as it did.
I got your text the other day but forgot to reply. I've installed Vadis on my machine so I'll give you a text tomorrow (sunday) and see if you're free. You need Windows 98 2000 or XP though.
