    This does seem to have turned into a for sale thread, especially as I may have sourced a new (to me) car!
    I'll pop over to the sale forum and open up a new thread.

    She passed, no problems. Well, just a sidelight bulb needing replacing! No advisories.

    At the moment, I would be happy with a correctly working standard car!
    More horses and 'torques' would be welcome, but I know that the money is just not there.

    Quick update.

    I put the recirc valve back on and the driveability is much improved. Whether that is just due to me knowing that it is back on and how it should be working, or a real improvement,...

    Might do that tomorrow along with refitting the recirc valve.

    Swapped the pipes over and there is more boost! Just not quite enough.
    Torque is reporting 9psi, so that is better than before but there is still something not quite right.

    That is the thing to check tomorrow, I think that the pipe to the recirc valve does not come from the TCV.
