    bays and blowers

    I've been thinking about adding a Kompresor Haus blower kit to my new 1600, the thinking being that it would give good torque, so improve hills etc. Apparently the 'mild kit' boosts a 100 to about 90bhp, and they've sold quit a few to bay owners.

    Cornwall ‘22

    I down loaded an app to my phone and drove the van, I now know 60 is 55, so I try to do between 60 and 65 on the motorway, below 35 around town for cameras. I think Speedy Cables in Wales offer a recalibration service, at least they used to. https://www.speedycables.com/

    Oil light came on. Help!

    that seems fairly conclusive then. This is probably another thread, but how should you setup ict's then... I've just rejetted mine to his spec.. not cheap either. There seems to be so much conflicting info. I've not driven it before, so no idea if its better than stock.
