    Had this home a few weeks now but not had much driving or tinkering with at the moment.

    Managed to sort the stereo wiring (seems to be a common thing with every car I've had in the past year for stereo wiring to be dodgy!) so have sound now

    Also plumbed the boost gauge in to check what boost it was running as it felt a bit nippy for stock.
    Was about .8 bar of boost which is about right I think given the free flow
    Exhaust air filter and fmic.

    Feels good and healthy just need to get the tracking done on the wheels and maybe a proper alignment when I get some rear camber arms
