He is running 0.4 bar less boost than before untill he gets his 3 bar map sensor, and he still has to play with the cam timing. He is also now using proper management rather than motronic.

Hydraulic lifters for more precisement
Solid lifters are more precise.

they are standard brand new lifters. he hasnt put it on solid lifters as yet as the cam profile isnt that big. i have had fun building this car with barnes for the last few years. if he can be bothered there will be more to come from the car and engine. since it had the ecu fitted he says the car is far more driveable at low revs and low speeds compared to phase 4. i have only been in it once and it was raining so cant comment on how well it goes.
if you think that we built this on his driveway with limited tools, its a fair awesome achievement in my opinion.
