I've got both drive DBW pedal & throttle body, also got a cable operated throttle body like on the older AGU engines, when I had my loom converted the guy said I should stick with the DBW setup as the car likes it best, there is a company in the states sells a bracket so the new electronic pedal setup just bolts in nicely. Probably could be made up from some nice steel plate etc.

After a conversation with mathew from trackslag exhausts, i have decided to go down the k04 route, as the k03 downpipe sits dangerously close to the steering joint. I want to drive this car, and occasionally track it. Having the engine mounts sheer and the exhaust sit on the steering joint and locking it up wouldn't be fun. Ive already had the bonnet come up on this car before and another mishap would not be nice. Plus k04 has more power available should i want to tune further.
I have bought a k04 turbo complete with oil n water lines, exaust manifold and inlet manifold..

To change to title of your thread go to your 1st post and click the edit icon in the 1st post and you should be able to click in the subject box and change the title.

I think that will change it but I could be wrong....
