    the side mounts are easy to make and are very easy to get strong the rear one is the hardest, ive bent one and snap/ripped the metal on another one, it might be cause i drive hard, the current design seems to be strong, you could go ott to make it strong but the space is limited. btw si i got mine to stay out of limp mode

    I put three strengtheners on the rear mount to hold it, will soon see if it's strong enough.

    What was causing the limp mode jack?

    Other way round, Ive got 2 passenger shafts.

    Limp mode can be caused by so much on the Coupe engine. Mine was in limp mode when I had the plus to the coils t6he wrong way round, ran fine strangely, but limp mode was on and wouldnt let me connect the cam sensor without it cutting out.

    do you reckon this intercooler would help with the post intercooler pipe run as you can have both on the 1 side? as i dont really want mine going over the turbo

    Looks a tad on the large side but I'm sure you could get it to fit.

    If i wasnt spending money on the 200 i'd buy my gt back for the conversion. Good work Si

    yeah i know, its a very basic ecu on it and it wasnt storing a code so made it extra hard to find it, just glad i did in the end as i nearly sold up. just got to enjoy it this summer then let someone else enjoy next year, when i move onto my other project
