Ha... just had a look back through your thread. I want your brakes :) Only thing left to do to mine really.
I've just changed my DV again as it was split and it must have been split for ages (or the new one is much stronger) as it feels like I've had another remap!! downside is its highlighted how weak the OEM brakes are now.

Just to expand on the DAB install there's a how to guide here.

Managed to get the new HPFP with Autotech internals installed and whilst I was at it decided to convert to the later banjo delete setup. It will just help make things easier when I check the follower with the increased load from the new pump. I had a spare later version intake manifold loaded up with stuff so just used the fuel lines off this for the car. Was a bit of a PITA to install but got there in the end.
Found a load of heat shield as well so got carried away on the Twintake, anything to squeeze a couple more horses out the little blower :happy2:
Next I paid Alex a visit at AKS for stage REVO 2+ on a wet Friday morning. Drive home was a little wet but the mid range is a great improvement.
Traffic was slow with the occasional standstill on the way home from AKS. Got this on the dash :grin: my other halves diesel does this but is very slow :grin:
Picked these 42DD bushes up off Alex as well to go with an Ebay short shift mech. Would recommend the short shift mechanism, they don't have forge written on them but you don't pay for the badge. Works absolutely fine in conjunction with the bushes and at less than half the price of a forge its a bargain

Fitted
Decided to keep the car for the foreseeable and invest in a KO4 engine next year. All the hardwares in place to go straight to stage 2+ with the bigger blower engine. Just need to buy a few bits and bobs in the mean time then back to AKS second quarter of next year

Nice! With the banjo bolt delete was it the bottom nut that caused the problems?
