I take it the header tank / washer fluid tank are still seperate and your not going to be chucking coolant all over your windscreen?

ill re sort them at a later stage


god im fed up , this ecu has started playing up yet again , as im runing low inpendance injectors ,the ms unit has a built in curcit to make them run , as im sure its gone faulty due to major over fuel and dosent matter what i try to do ,its missing and smokeing like a deisal , so i may have to bypass this and run high inpendance ,,

then while tuning the spark and fuel maps , the engine started smoking badly , i thought the worst .but found the problem which was the turbo oil feed hole was too big (8mm ) which was bypassing the turbo seals so added this one

and also fitted a 90 elbow too , so thats sorted that problem out , no smoke , lol

then got the laptop back on the go to find , my air tempture not working so went hunting at the local scrap to find one , made a new therd and fitted and works a dam treat too ,,

(all these little things do help trust , just awaiting now to try a new ms part , if i get no luck il thow some high inpedance inejctors in , fingers crossed one or the other sorts the problem ,,

dont get too fed up - you are doing a great job

when doing something as complex as this, you are bound to have a few problems along the way.

Keep up the good work dude
