Finally got the car all finished and turned the key this evening. It didn\'t start first time, but did second!! :D

Only got a little problem I\'m trying to sort out before I take it for a drive.

I\'ve also put on a straight through exhaust as I used to have a dragon silenced midpipe. My neighbours are gonna hate me! lol.

(please see my other thread, any help appreciated!)

I remember trying to start mine first time after my rebuild. Was very nervous. Then it started first time on the key - I was amazed! :D

Well done.

Not fitted the PFC yet as I don\'t know if it was setup or has base map on it. I currently have no commander, so I can\'t reset it.

I\'m on stock ECU, but no more than 3K rpm and no boost at all!!!! I\'m gonna be very, very carefull until I get it mapped etc. Should be fine like that.
