Managed to get the new HPFP with Autotech internals installed and whilst I was at it decided to convert to the later banjo delete setup. It will just help make things easier when I check the follower with the increased load from the new pump. I had a spare later version intake manifold loaded up with stuff so just used the fuel lines off this for the car. Was a bit of a PITA to install but got there in the end.
Found a load of heat shield as well so got carried away on the Twintake, anything to squeeze a couple more horses out the little blower
Next I paid Alex a visit at AKS for stage REVO 2+ on a wet Friday morning. Drive home was a little wet but the mid range is a great improvement.
Traffic was slow with the occasional standstill on the way home from AKS. Got this on the dash
my other halves diesel does this but is very slow
Picked these 42DD bushes up off Alex as well to go with an Ebay short shift mech. Would recommend the short shift mechanism, they don't have forge written on them but you don't pay for the badge. Works absolutely fine in conjunction with the bushes and at less than half the price of a forge its a bargain

Decided to keep the car for the foreseeable and invest in a KO4 engine next year. All the hardwares in place to go straight to stage 2+ with the bigger blower engine. Just need to buy a few bits and bobs in the mean time then back to AKS second quarter of next year
