I think I know who you mean, he often chirps in on the wave page if it's the same person, would another option go for a T5 ecu from a 98 with injectors? assuming they use the same MAF

Pre ETM so a throttle body ypu csn pretty much bolt everything on.

All depends on lots of things. Habe a look at this. I run a VAST tune with minimal issues. Its not perfect but it's fine for me.

Like any old car if you modify or upgrade 1 part you must upgrade the next.
Eg you can't just fit injectors with out a good fuel pump ect. Ypu ge

TL_V70

You get the idea.

I got a full stock internal 97 T5 2.3 auto with just the bolt ons and its been happy with a 20 psi VAST tune for a couple of year now. Just about to approach 180km. I use good parts and good fuel and service it regularly.

Nah, 5 years is nothing.

Unless they used junk products or didn’t do it right.

Car still drives really nice and smooth, it's developed a steering rack leak, one thing that happened was the expansion tank boiled over about 3-4weeks ago straing after shutting the car off, but has been fine since, and a similar thing happened to me years ago with the car, I put it down to being a hot day and the turbo being extremely hot and not getting a chance to cool down properly?

Ex850R

Do combustion gas check.

Not normal
