cheers for the heads up colin but i didnt go into this with my eyes closed.
the car you refer to is duncans(dynamix)which turned out to have a cracked oil
pick up pipe!i have spoke to alan jeffrey and allayed my fears of oil pressure
drop and have been assured that there are several cars running these plates with
no issues.i will run with the plate and monitor oil pressure to see how it goes,if there
is any issues then i shall remove it and look at other options.
for the record i'll be monitering:
oil pressure,oil temp,water temp,fuel pressure,boost pressure,wideband afr,inlet temp,
injector duty,exhaust gas temp and more,no point in pushing an engine to the max and then disregarding whats going on(even on a little 2.0l)
