Sorry for the delay I didn't see your post!
That's the guy :-)
We had some issues at the dyno with ABS and ESP not disabling properly causing power cuts, we were also hitting EGT limiters causing fuel to be cut back (protection factors) with a peak EGT of 950 degrees!!! The cooling was not sufficient on the dyno I used, we were seeing at 1000 rpm EGT of 400 degrees.
I've since figured out how to fully disable the ESP and ABS by removing the specific fuse (which also stops the speedo working, causes the power steering to default to "heavy as f*ck" and causes the fuel gauge to plummet to the bottom of the gauge whenever you press the throttle lol)
In terms of mods umm not much, replaced my wheel arch as a 140+ run testing the new map somehow caused my undertray to come off and the wheel arch liner to not be attached to the bumper anymore.
I replaced all of the clips/screws underneath and bought a new arch liner for £40. It's not a genuine part but the quality seems Ok actually, it's a different material to the original archliner.

Also during the Cp3 pump fitting we fitted a new thermostat which has massively improved the MPG, before the engine temp would sit around 75-78 on the Polar, now it's pretty much bang on 90 degrees. We also did the timing belt with a new water pump, as it needs to come off anyway

I remember Bobby being 'the man' when diesel tuning really took off (ukmkivs GTB ARLs etc). Good guy to have doing your maps!

And also no self centering!!! Very VERY odd to drive.

Yeah Bobby is really passionate and quite local (45 min drive) so great to be working with him. He looked at the map on my old 1.9 if you remember that but didn't do anything with it as I ended up selling it.
Don't think he had a MK1 1.8t tho.
