I can get an NGK unit (direct fit) for £75. ive always used NGK on my MotoX bikes and found them to excellent and very trustworth parts, but again im unsure when compared to a bosch unit.

GSF cant supply a Bosch unit. ECP can only supply me with a Bosch unit where i have to manually wire it in myself. is this easy to do?

Hi, I have an APY s3 which only requires 1 Lambda Sensor (pre cat). Im trying to shop around to find the best deal on a new unit. My local Auto Factors can supply me with the required part for about £40, the only issue is this is a Febi part and not a bosch. My local TPS have Quoted me £120 for...

no :-( only a cheap vc to read/wipe codes

Ok, so ive got a brought some things to try and fix my issue: Plugs Fuel filter Wynns Clean burn Should i be looking at getting a new lambda sensor (apy so only have 1 sensor)? Also ive noticed that it might be running rich as the mpg is bad and there is a faint smell of fuel in the engine bay...

Yes its the xspower stamp.

This is the mani ive got. identical to other V3's ive seen

Well ive had a few days off from work so went fishing yesterday and did the motor today. My plan was to remove the turbo and manifold "without" removing the head or dropping the subframe, this was indeed a very! knuckle crunching experience to say the least, ive read lots of turbo removal guides...

Thanks bill. Looks like the tubular mani route may be a better option for cost effectiveness. Anyone have an opinion on the frankenturbo ceramic coated mani?

Im trying to get the most out of the standard k04, ive got the dp, exhaust and ic sorted but am stuck on what highflow cast manifold to get. Ive read alot of mixed views on different ones and id like to know if anyone has any experience on the situation.

nope, no code's. ive triple checked all hoses, ive changed all 4 coil packs to my spare set and still high idle. Ill be putting in a new set of Iridium plugs soon just to be sure its not an ignition problem

A TB reset didnt do any good :ermm: . Tho i may have found the cause. a fair few weeks ago as i was changing my thermostat broke my dipstick, its super brittle! and as i was gluing it back together i was a bit rough and broke it again! GRRRR! so i found some hose the same ID size and wedge it...
