An update!
Cars running so nicely, it’s so smooth, but the smoking problem has persisted and I puts me off driving it if I’m honest. I can bimble around in it but I could do that in a 1.0 Fiesta.
Soooooooooooo I’ve just spent £4k on a parts list provided by Jimmer for a full rebuild.
I’m proper excited.
Will basically be a brand new engine and running a bit more power when it’s done. Nothing mad but it’ll be quick, will have some excellent turbo and intake noises and most importantly will drive nicely as a street car and not leave a blue trail in my wake!!!
I did install a new cheap stereo so I can have Bluetooth! Went retro as it kind of suits the age.

just got my ecu re-fitted last week after John Dixon 'chipped' it.
at first it felt great but i'm not sure now if i've just got used to the power, or if the cars gone into safety boost.
It has 1mm boost jets fitted but only seems to be boostin to 5-6bar?
any thoughts?
