    I would have expected a saving from the delivery charge for a larger order, that's if they'll sell and deliver direct to UK - If not then maybe I need to start an import business

    I just tried a test run with an order of 10 and the €2 charge for a single delivery to a local pick up depot remains €2 total, so technically you do save a little for bulk orders.

    Just to report back that all new vacuum lines are now in place (many thanks to Kingsford for the awkward to reach ones), also fitted the Piersburg replacement BCS from the later model...

    Great news full boost now available nearly end of the white gauge, more tests to follow but very happy!

    I'm happy after further testing to confirm that the new BCS has helped find the missing boost, particularly in conjunction with new vacuum pipes, all the way to the end of the gauge now on full load/boost, 15psi, as mapped by Oblark on M4.4 in an 850 T5 1996.

    This was with the Pierburg later square BCS as mentioned in this thread, for mounting I used one of those sticky pads with a flat anchor point that a cable tie goes through, this is stuck on the underside of the airbox and easily loops around the square BCS keeping it mounted tight on the lower front edge of the airbox. The original BCS and hanger has been unscrewed and removed to keep things tidy.

    I'm back in France now so can't get any pictures of the 850 back in Suffolk, hopefully the description helps paint the picture.
