hope she doesn't pop on the way back, or my gearbox for that matter..........
what turbo you running ? 2.0l or 2.5l ?

SIFU
so glad to be inside her again she's pretty lively now, pics will follow but she's far from looking her best

steveorangewrx
good to see you again mate, won't leave it so long between visits this time!! 3" turbo back with no boxes does attract a fair bit of attention, was scaring plenty of people with the antilag, very loud and big flames!!!! you know simtec makes sense...........

WR 1mposter
using an AF20g on a forged 2.0l, am very impressed as a lot of people have said that they are laggy turbos, i don't see it tbh......
probably as far as i'm going with for the minute, will stick on some ver3 heads and maybe some octane boost before xmas though

kingofturds
you definately have me confused, i'm an electrician for a company in falmouth but work out of newquay, only drive a wee pug partner!!!
thought you were referring to the weight limit on towing a trailer

and also met jjscoobies at enginetuner this morning, he was trying to get his simtec mapped, could've given me a lift up his wagon is awesome up close, mint!!

less than 1/4 tank decided to goto the Lanner garage for Vpower only to get there with the light showing and them telling me they don't have any at the moment!!!! had to put a few quids worth of normal fuel in and drive carefully to Carland Cross, so after a 60 mile round trip I now have nearly a full tank of Vpower lol
The garage at Hayle will be shut for approx 7 weeks apparently for refurbishment :\

Thanks for the replies though

urm nearest tesco 99 is in Devon (according to the website) and the nearest Vpower is Lanner or playing place from where you are, but i would ring either garage before you go there cuz Lanner didn't have any on Saturday when I went there :| I ended up at Carland cross to get mine!

you can find out where they all are Here

i found the same thing in Lanner the other day, nearly on empty, so had to struggle to Camborne Tesco for their awful Super Unleaded.

I have found Sainsburys Super to be half decent, its also 10p cheaper than Vpower which is nice. But as Sainsburys is in Truro you may as well carry on to the Police Station and get Vpower there.

i inquired about Tesco99 a few months ago, apparently they are currently refurbishing a storage depot at Plymouth, when thats finished they will be rolling out across cornwall.
