Is everything completely stock at the moment?

The turbo you have runs out at 13psi, so you will notice some difference, but most likely next to no major change except for the peakier cam.

Still trying to find a 90 + manifold but the only ones I can find are in uk , around $100 plus postage

Oh you ended up with cam's RSI rods and Pistons.
(Note that changing to a t5 box does not mean you have to change to M plates) I have been told the club will accept CH/H plates so as long as an engineers report is obtained.

On another note, glad you have gone the route of decent bottom end.
200kw is a nice number. You get bored with it quickly though. And will want more.

After driving the Honda Odyssey all week when I do drive the Volvo at the moment it seems like a rocket ship so I'm sure 200kw will be plenty

Yeah when you drive something every day (I have an xr6 company car) jumping in something different the 740 or the 142 is tonnes better/different.
Boost lag/push back in the seat is a welcomed change :D though normalises quickly. (Still fun) and I'm left wanting more everything

Don't get me wrong build your dream ride with out our push :) though I've always found I require more :D more everything :D

Jay you need to start striping out the interior and put some skinny ass tyres in the back

I have been actively removing interior parts from he day I got it.

It breaks I don't replace it :P
I require wider especially on the rear. I blow out 1st and 2nd with ease. And looking to blow out 3rd coming onto boost in the dry.
(Wet/damp/cold tyres) 3rd/4th will fry.

Try going softer suspension in the rear or better quality tyres

Well you can't get much softer and useless than what I have. But yes better quality rubber is always the desire. Fronts will get chewed out in less than 15,000klm rears last especially if I'm rotating frequently.
No point putting quality rubber on my wheels. They are temps.
