Yeah John, had the car up on the lift today and popped a bar in to test if there was any movement..... its really flexy so iv,e ordered the fast road version to see how that helps. Also got the codes off the turbo to pinpoint exactly what it is. Might look into to upgrading the wheel to KO4. Someone has already done it in Greece and is seeing 290bhp.

290bhp sounds great 8) Is this the same guy who is trying for 500bhp on UKMKIV's?

Please let us know what the uprated engine bush is like when you get it installed. Does it reduce wheel hop noticeably? Is there an increase in rattles and vibrations?

290bhp? Can the stock fuel injectors support up to this horsepower? How about torque? I am sure the clutch plates needs to be upgraded also? I wonder whats the total cost for the intercooler, turbo and clutch plates??! Should cost a bomb.

Super Pro Fast Road lower engine bushing fitted yesterday along with Whiteline rear ARB.

No vibration whatsoever from the bushing and the rear end feels a lot tighter when pushing on :D
