Bit of an update before the big one
Few loose ends to tie up and some mapping to finish then i'll post up the results next week or so
Removed the aircon pump yesterday, but also installed the new APR Runner flap delete:

Here's the little box with them in.
Never taken the manifold off myself before, and its a pretty big job. Thankfully APR provides excellent step by step instructions.
Here is the manifold off with the flaps in. You cant really see the size of the flaps very well here.
Here it is with the flap delete.
Took about 4 hours in total, with two novices taking there time :) Fairly easy job, just a few fiddly bits, and car started ok afterwards.
Needs a mapping now to take advantage.
Unfortunately cant drive it yet as got a clunking noise from the rear hub or rear CV joint, so that needs to be fixed this week
