          Excellent!
          It's nice to hear it's back to good health, the Samco's must have helped there too.

            No leaks in the pipework when I got the car, Samco's doing their job well. Small leak in the intercooler, but no problem as I just happened to have a Wagner evo intercooler gathering dust in my garage

              Nice one, that should certainly help!
              It had a 1.9 bar wastegate spring if I remember rightly too....

                Replaced with a stock spring to go with the homefry. I have to say that the V-stream builds boost rather rapidly... don't think I'm going to miss the 1.9 bar spring!

                  The 1.9 spring is actually a 0.9 spring in boosting levels terms and s2central has said he is producing a new chipset called x-stream to cater for it.

                    Yeah, 1.9 absolute isn't it.
                    The AmD was torquey (even with a lack of boost), but I do like the sound of Paul's v-stream.

                      Ian, sounds like you're doing the same to your locals as I do to mine! Kid in the back waving, Collie in the boot trying to push itself off the rear window, whilst blasting off up the road, leaving onlookers with a bemused look on their face as to what it was that just made their expensive new car look like it still had the handbrake on!!

                      Avants rule!!!! Love it...
