That was my fear. I have a spare set of OEM mounts but last time i looked the ones on the car looked fine. I'm a bit stumped on what to do. I thought the Torque damper would have been a better choice but it doesn't look like there is a bolt on available

Unsure why your having contact issues though, I'll take a picture tonight and see how tight mine is compared to yours.

Thanks to all your answer, very synthetic and clear.
So in sum I could say that from installation point of view, the crucial step is mapping, rather than the kit itself. Are instruction provided clear?
What is about car balance? Does the kit increase front weight a lot?
Just another question about consumption, in normal condition do they rise a lot? I read about an addictional pump. Sorry if I am not precise, but why is it necessary?

Thanks again

I got the softer of the vibratec mounts and to be honest they are pretty good. Alot better than the Megan racing items i had before which really shook the interior about.

I did a run yesterday with mainly motorway and a couple of 'boots' joining motorways, I averaged just over 25mpg which I didnt think was too bad considering.

The installation manual was very easy to follow, both pictures and description.

numbers i can only dream of lol

i took my car out yesterday after it was aligned as i needed to make my car higher to clear ramps and bumps. Car was undriveable, slightest hint of a pull and the temperature gauge went up :/ i have emailed EFI and i am trying to get the car booked in for a remap, at least i will then know if it is the map or my car that is at fault, plus the map will be unlocked so i can datalog and hopefully be able to find out the cause a little easier if it still has issues.

this wont be for another 2 months though while i sort out the respray on the car

I would really love to have at least a little bit of summer to enjoy this car this year due to last summer being a write off

Hey guys... finally had a chance to get my car dyno tuned... here are the results.
Keep in mind I'm running the 110mm pulley and I have a US/Canada spec AP2 with a 8k rpm redline.

Also my torque curve seems wavy but I think I'm getting resonance from my exhaust because it's all stock aside from a 60mm test pipe.... however the car does pull smoothly.

Probably done a good 1000 miles in the last two weeks and pulled the plugs out to fit the step colder ones i've had for ages. No issues at all. Will be keeping them as spare

New plugs on the left and old on the right.




I reckon at the base boost levels provided by the kit you would be fine with the OEM plugs assuming you didn't have a silly amount of ignition advance. I run about 11.7 AFR in boost which keeps things nice and cool.

What about the belt with smaller 110 mm pulley, which type should be used?
