Wrap the headers. It makes an awesome smell in winter when they get soaking wet. Occasionally you will get steam coming out of your bonnet scoop too, making you shit your daks, thinking something is wrong.

I will be getting this done on the next set of headers going onto the bug not a fan of wrap, and after a major oil leak I had that dripped straight onto the headers I was happy there was no material the oil could soak into (stupid china gaskets never again)

Yeah nah. That's not going to help.

What is the compression ratio of your built engine? Does anyone know? It's the first thing the tuner will ask. (well maybe not the first thing, but if he's any good he will ask)

New heads but same heads?

This is like de ja vu all over again.

STOCK ECU AND STOCK TURBO for now. Do not drive it 1m with a differing combo. When you buy an ECU, have the car booked in for tune and have the tuner fit the ecu then tune the car on the spot.

Not rocket science.

Yeah but what I'm saying is IF i have to drive it, it will be off boost at all times...and It won't be going to the motorplex this time. In 2 weeks when I go back to work I'll need something to get me there and if the bike isn't sorted then it will have to be the car.

I wasn't sure if it would so I thought I would mention it.

I haven't asked and I was probably told but don't remember, anyway I will find out the next time I see the guys.

Nope my mistake, I misread a text and they are indeed the same heads.

I will be booking to get a tune +ecu+turbo asap and Have it all done at once anyway, I'm not going to fit a turbo and ecu and think she's good to go......one rebuild is enough.

Love the way businesses are not published. Just in case it all goes bad again?
As if it's inevitable. (I hope not)

Handing these things over to a reputable builder and getting a working result should be a no brainier given the history. There's likely a lot of concern from others based on lack of info and degree of secrecy.
