Installed Alan's custom chip (0.63 bar fuel cut), new washer jet, CAS o-ring.
Everest is on the top. The one in the bottom is the new one with my name on it.
Up the boost to 15 psi now. Thought I could shift pretty fast from 1st-2nd already but really that I felt I'm too slow on the shifting. Traction is also not so much there on 1st and 2nd gear.

15 PSI is lots of fun. Smaug currently peaks at 16. Can your fancy electronic boost controller limit boost as a function of RPM so you don't break loose quite so easily?

It might take me a little while to get familiar with it....
A bit strange seeing that the gauges are not even there.

I guess there's an LGM gauge conversion in your future? Or just new dial faces?

Perhaps you need to install some extra security - why are those 2 dodgy looking people being allowed to rip bits out of your car and run away????? What are the Police doing about it???

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Ah, recovering from minor surgery (nothing exciting) is a great excuse to catch up on projects... Ekapol, Stripey looks great mate, but can you please dirty up the engine bay a bit so I don't feel so guilty about mine, the shine there is dazzling

Hope you get well soon.
Don't worry mate. I've already added a dab or 2 of the engine oil there, just to make you happy
More pictures: Look what happened when you let a good looking girl getting to close to you car...

Hi Ekapol.
For all our previous dealings, I thought you were a bloke
After seeing your pics on your Stripey thread I can see your a gorgeous chic!
That'll teach me to jump to conclusions.
Hope you are well!
Paul
Couldn't resist posting this IM from Paul Watkins
Glad you like my self-portrait Paul

You don't want that one - it's got a big bend in the middle!
Oh alright, it looks
quite nice.
Good skills in getting us back on topic though Ekkers!
