Well, managed a hour or so tinkering time before the thunder storm and finished my DIY PPP conversion.

The car already had the Prodrive back box when I bought it plus the optional Speedline ST2 wheels. First change was the De Cat down pipe, I know the PPP involved binning the centre cat rather than the one in the down pipe but I'm not trying to meet emission regulations, parts to fit it were half the price of the downpipe.



A few months ago I picked up a V5/6 PPP ECU and have been running that for the last few months with no problems, this should peak at 1.1 bar rather than the standard ECUs 1 bar.

And finally I picked up the proper Intercooler pipework this week.

Comparing the original plastic pipework and the replacement Alloy/silicon combination it should improve airflow through the intercooler considerably.


It's also nice seeing prodrive written on bits under the bonnet



Next stop is SRR next month to see whether I've wasted my money on the ECU or not as I have my doubts over it's authenticity.
