Bit of an update! It's been a bit slow this year. I've mainly been either using the 940 for work (so not willing to modify it), or I've been battling reliability issues, mainly on the wiring front....

Quick update
Having finally tuned the car to a point where it cold starts reliably, and is reasonable on fuel, I parked it up. In the garage from January to today, and I drove an S60 instead. Now...
ended up buying it - a few small issues but nothing major and it's in good shape for a 22 year old car.
My first T5 as well!
Quick update so I don't forget it all
Have been re-mapping it as I go really. Some more advance, some VE table tweaks, and I've got PID control working for the EGO so I can manage about 500 miles...
About a few weeks after the last post, I got it on the dyno, with the aim of nailing down my spark map. Came away with a drastically changed fuel map, no changes to my spark map, and some power...

As mentioned in the vid description, I'm currently tuning it on a standalone management. Been a steep learning curve for the last couple...
I will try to get the GoPro hooked up at some point! It definitely sounds better than it did. Turns a few heads now too, not sure if they're expressions of interest or disgust at this point haha. I'm...
It took me a while, but finally got round to sorting out the exhaust. I took it to Infinity Exhausts outside of Bristol - would recommend.
Had to swap the hotside flange to a V-banded straight...
cheers guys, it's a decent enough platform for this really, just a shame it comes with low horsepower from the factory. It's getting there! Have got my hands on a 3" turbo back exhaust for it now so...

Kept the old strut top mount as apparently originals are better quality than most new stuff. I swapped the bearings over to them, also allowed me to somewhat keep my camber settings....
Quick update, I've been stuck not doing much on the car since lockdown started (I'm still working a lot)
I snagged a beaut leather interior from a nearby mate (once the lockdown rules were...
It's been a while since I said anything; recently moved house and started a new job.
Here's a picture of the cam cover I took way too long to paint, photograph and upload. I think it looks...
Apologies for the awful formatting... I'm not too savvy with forum posts.
Got some pics of how the heater core and distribution box looks in these later models. It's held together with a load of...
Thanks for the kind replies all!
It's been a while since I did anything performance wise, other than turning up the boost a bit further. Now running 1 bar on the 15G with a V cam, pulls hard but...
Thanks Dave - I will give it a go some time when it stops snowing on me! And I haven't read any codes, not really sure how to do it to be honest so I will read up on it. Cheers!
Thanks Woz - should...
