    I've been reading on VS, everybody seems to use N/A throttle body, am I being thick here, do they mean the 2.5 5 pot one, or the one off the 960 3.0

    I can see the N/A one is bigger, and if it is the 2.5 5 pot one, easier to get hold of, and the TPS sensor looks like its in the same place.

    the 3.0litre from the 960 is bigger, the port on the manifold needs enlarging but thats not a hard job with a flap sander

    the TPS is the same but you'll need to extend the wires as its turned 90degrees compared to the 850

    Well, that is good new, took my ported head to the machine shop for a check, its warped by 14 thou! or more technically known as F****d! I'm none too impressed.

    I'm hoping now my Piper cams really 'are' piper cams

    What resistance are the injectors on the T5's? I've got a set of blue's for mine, now I'm being informed I should use bigger.I missed a set of green's the other day, now looking at other makes (Siemens) or Bosch off other cars.

    Any help will be grateful

    here's a pic of both pre-ME7 & ME7 gaskets if that helps, i've got them here but not got a measure handy to give you sizes

    according to this LINK, the injector resistance should be 15.6-16.2 ohms. Read something about using Vauxhall/Holden injectors (VXR blue 470cc 280156280 Bosch) but not looked that far into it myself

    I've been looking on the turbo-tuner website, no mention of anything there, unless i missed it! I wonder if it bothers the TT ecu, as it seems to be able to run most injectors?

    send Adam an email asking, he's been very helpful & i still haven't even bought one yet

    think some have had problems because they've gone too big with the injectors & can't get the injector duty low enough to idle correctly, but thats nothing to do with the inector resistance

    Is there any difference between T5 driveshafts and N/A ones? I'm sure told Lee told me that the T5 ones were thicker, and mine had normal ones fitted.
