boost thing i found
I spent last week or a good part of it weilding new sills into my uk tt and had to pull the carpet back as not to set the car alight, today fitting the carpet back properley i cant spell so anyway, i found yet another box of tricks only this one has some srt of setting like a small slit for a screw driver for setting up boost i think. cas that one hidden away and wired into the ecu yet the other one is more of an on and off hi/ lo controller sort of things is this a norm set up for hks set up. the plot thickens whos put what on this car as i dont know cas bought it of a trader.

What to do next, me thinks
Right heres what ive done and what ive done since, let me explain. when i bought my car it was a standard lwb tt i think, but had an aftermarket boost controller fitted. the boost controller had no instructions and i didnt and still dont know how it works, bassically i wound it up and done my oil seals in my tubs. Now over sometime i have taken out engine replace with newbuilt tubs with 360 degrease bearings and stagered step oil seals or something like that. also i now have a large enough k a n air filter that feeds more clean air into the engine than the channle tunnle needs, and one super large front mount intercooler. The car runs sweet as a nut but it hasnt been further than a trip on a car transporter to my brothers garage so i could catch up with the wielding brake pipes and stuff ready for pre mot. I am now thinking im wanting to put car back on transporter to somewere who can put a new cam belt on and set the car up so if once setup just turn the contoler on and of so i can play without killing it again, and im just glad one of the tubs were weak proberly saved me from killing engine. IS THERE SUCH A PERSON TO DO THIS AND HOW MUCH? may thanks, once done ill finish the car with new gloss black paint to match the new satin black wheels and once more a lwb uk tt back on the road . Thanks for your help.

Flat spot
i bought a fmic whilst the engine was out cas replacing tubs. turns out the pipes on the front mount that i put on without instructions well i put / plumed it in wrong. aparantly the pipes cross over they dont look uniform from the front. As soon as i swaped the pipes over on one side. perfect no flat spot anywhere.

Widest tyres on a z?
I have at the moment 235/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 at the rear but im so temted to go 255/35/18 front and 275 or if tyre man says ok then 285/35/18 rears. I think then still get a bit tyre roll and shouldnt have to touch arches.
