Finally done!

The plastic lugs on the intercooler, which are used to afix it more securely to the radiator, were completely missing on my original intercooler. And the rings were not in the right place either...the air was getting in at that point...so just as well I had bought the second-hand intercooler to fit!

So, apart from a little black smoke remaining to be shot out, all done! I'm getting full power again! The mechanics were not impressed that the mapping had boosted the power available to 160hp...they reckoned that would shorten the life of the engine. Since I generally don't boot my car around at every opportunity, I think it will last long enough. Any 'moon' members got the 160hp mapping in their engines?
