Bruv's just picked one up complete for me :)
Is it a big job to fit or straight swap?

obviously you'll need to change the intercooler pipe to a 76mm end. The manifold will need boring out, very easy job to do with a flap sander. Plus the 3 wires to the TPS (throttle position switch) will need extending

made alot of difference to my 19t, removed almost all the lag. Some people complain the throttle sensitivity is too much like a switch afterwards, either on or off

Unless on eairler looms pre 96 are shorter i dont know but just done myne and there was pleanty of free play so no need to extend

Very true it is like a switch the throttle feels very switched on and really responsive

Same as mine and mine is a '95 no need to extend the wires.

Will look a bit more into it I think. Haven't got that many mods tbh. Might wait till the new lump gets fitted :)
