	hood scoop now fitted along with some nice new bonnet pins oh yeah and it can do this now as well dom has another video of the first fire up we had a bit of trouble with a relay that was down but after some top tinkering from blackadder it was up and running only I had forgot about all the filler dust that was all over the exhaust manfolds and it got a little smokey in the workshop ;D ;D the cameras mic realy couldn't cope with the volume of it in the workshop but you can just about here the exhaust note over the distortion from the mic ;D i'll get a better video of it once i've had a chance to tune it and roll it outside don't think the enclosed space of the workshop helped much

	That sounds nice. Look forward to hearing it in the flesh at somepoint. How hard are those EFi tuning things to setup. Can you store a number of maps on them or just a single one.

Can you store a number of maps on them or just a single one. its all fairly simple to setup as its all done through the lcd display it has a step by step thing ei: spark modifers and fuel modifiers ect and it can store a number of setups so you set it up for milage on one and race use on another then switch between the 2 thats actually one of thereasons i got it my old silver 5.0 mk3 2door did about 8 to the gallon on a good day and had no way of improving stuff without sacrificing power with the efi setup i can go to a show with the economy and when i get to the track swich over to the race setup

	few little bits done while waiting for paint to dry and stuff on the the estate pulled the van out of the workshop today for a dust off and to clean up the workshop a bit new billet throttle linkage fitted only thing is now the throttle body is another 1" higher than it was and the air filter only just clears the bonnet scoop ;D
