Was reading the comments on the TV facebook and was lol'ing at some of the peoples idiocy spouting their opinion as if it was fact. Bunch of cocks.

Most of it was due to 5 door haha. I built it for me, the fact 2000+ people like it is a massive bonus

Cheers lee, I'm still enjoying it
Went for a
Drive this evening all pretty much faultless and same as it was at trax the two problems from trax remain though.
Problem 1.
Fuel readings are mega dodgy, sometimes it's very high, then will drop to actual amount I have randomly, then shoot up. This is why I ran out of petrol before Trax! Ideas?
Problem 2.
On boost when flooring it, sometimes it cuts out? Starts right back up again, and all is fine. Any ideas what's happening?

Not sure what I'm looking for but will pop lid off at weekend, hopefully it will be obvious.
No codes or eml light for cuttingout

If its anything like the porsche ones the float will be on a slider (effectively a variable resistor) what can happen is if the contact gets bent or just wearing out?

It must be connected like u said. Mines the same. There's a little circuit board that's attached to top of the float arm. I think that's abit dodgy on mine and your having same problem so think that's the cause

the cradle that holds it might not be clicked in and could be loose so it could be giving you all different readings

Well, that lasted long.
Turbo blew up. Had to be recovered as I wasn't willing to risk it

No idea. Unbranded and supplies with manifold.
Probably buy another cheap one, not spending mega money

Raised coilovers with help from aa man, managed to fit on normal truck. Flat bed to home meant I would have to upgrade service I have with them through the bank. Costing £120 one off payment plus £17 I already pay per month... Fuck that. He agreed to get me home, if I joined a through him for £8 per month. Cheaper than bank account and saved me quite a lump some over the year tbh. Top bloke, really friendly and asking all about car.
