personally i wud tke the firrst 300 miles easy driving but yo do want to use the rev range dont restrict yourself to 3k, just stick to the speed limits and go through each gear normally, whilst doing the first 300 miles use shit oil as it will let the engine parts rub together more. then slowly then for the next 200 miles give abit of shit through the gears with some fresh cheap oil in,(but dont go kick its head in) after those 200 miles put some decent oil in and ull be safe to give it the berries

To be honest, the most important thing to do is be gentle with the throttle and no boost.

It can go off a little if you are about to hit boost or just before. I admit I used to boost mine a lot whilst running in and I don't have any problems really.

Once or twice for SHORT periods won't matter so much, but giving it beans is asking for trouble.

you can make it work revving it, and revving the engine wont make it produce boost.

and technically it will go off without the car seeing any boost.

yes it passed with the engine fine as its all declared

no cat, all sorted there though

well had a few problems tonight, car kept cutting out on me whenever i let off the throttle and wouldnt rev over 2.5k. i was quite worried i may had broke something

anyways managed to get it home after cutting out at about 10 sets of traffic lights, took the bumper off and realised one of the boost pipes had came off. put that back on and tight and was running fine again

nice easy fix ftw!!!

anyways i have my new fibreglass bonnet fitted, my aerocatch's, morrettes and also my sideskirts

oh and a laguna splitter as a temp thing.

looks sooo much better though, will get pics tomorow.

still no sunroof though. fucking performance trim
