    Possibly retrofit. It's not that difficult to get the prodrive parts, ECU, Backbox, CAT delete etc. I'd LOVE an older standard car to start all over again with.

    I'd be looking at £1100 tops paying for it Jon.

    thinking that'll be my limit on it... good thing is its totally standard... crying out for some mods... good base to start on :P

    as such with it being fly by wire there shouldn't be much of a delay as it's a digital interface...so to speak but it shouldn't be so noticable as being put yer foot down and a noticable period later the car responds.... maybe a dodgy batch of sensors???... pedal end is basically a potentiometer at the end of the day....may well be that some aren't as sensitive as they should be.. :mellow:

    let me know how you get on at the stealers mate.. :D

    if i'm thread jacking i apologize...

    mine is an r reg.... got green label maf......have noticed that when driving if i just plant the foot it kangaroos.....but if i go up the rev range progressively it builds boost pressure no probs.. even then it's not all the time it...

    was thinking dirty boost solenoid and that this was causing the fluttering...

    how do i test the MAF????

    oh and no probs stewarty :thumbup:

    Don't use eaglesham. They are ok for genuine parts but thats about it. The guys are sound but unfortunately they couldn't diagnose a knackered maf on my car which, if i didn't know myself something was wrong would have eventually killed my engine. It wasn't even hard to spot, massive stutter when coming on boost.

    As Playsatan says Hypertech seem to get a good name.

    Have you thought about cutting your losses with it and buying another? It may work out cheaper if you can find a decent classic. ( i might know of one aswell... ;))

    massive stutter when coming on boost??? mine does that...ie kangaroos when comin on boost when driving but not when stationary??? thinkin it was dirty boost solenoid...:thumbup:
