better than 1.4!! Finally got it running without Engine Light coming on all the time, fault test showed up as the Hall Effect Switch. Short term solution is cable tie it on, new dizzy on way tho.
I'm happy with the power for now, till i can use it to its full potential, but TB's soonish I hope!

How come you have a red elbow on the main oil breather?

got my 2l on tb's on friday
you'd have been better buying a knackerd corsa (mechanically that is) and putting the engine in that. 16s, big brakes & mad engine beats bodykits & 18s handsdown
