Standard Bosch VE pump from a 1.9xud, with an 11mm head and lots of modification.

Enough fuel for 300bhp I would hope so should be good for 250

Thats all good and well but if its an alloy you will damage it and you still need them balanced!

good to make friends with tyre places!! I moved 2 years ago so lost all my "connections" in the trade. Only ONE tyre place round here... So went in one day, late on when I could see they were quiet and had a chat, said what i wanted done, banter about cars etc... Brought it in for the work, paid ful...

Passed MOT yesterday with flying colours!

happy days!

now for moooore boost and fuel!

@rolebama....its ok, apology accepted

it would be nice for everyone to do these checks on a regular basis...but heres hoping.

so if people would at least do these now, then they may save themselves some bother, or us when they are broken down causing tailbacks!!
