Hopefully have it turning over again by the end of the weekend. Its only running P2 at the moment so probably not much off those figures quoted but might know more at the end of the month if I get it on the rollers

How many hours you put into this project then? I got to hand it to you for having this much patients, I ended giving up reading and flicked threw the pages of pics, lol.

I think the red and black engine bay goes nice, probably one of the best around now, besides the cromeed out ones, lol.

Whats the main difference between standalone and say the regal phase kits or chips? Or isist just that standalone can be mapped to fine tune rather than the pre setted chips from regal?

Everytime Im nearly ready to think about it something lets go, maybe its a sign lol

Basically yes to get the best out of it you would need to run stand alone to suit the spec rather than something off the shelf.

Thats not a bad idea, it takes me long enough to do anything as it is though so would never get it finished lol
