Thanks man, I pretty much bought this car as is pictured, All ive done thus far is oil change, sprayed the grill dark graphite (it actually looks alright like this, the original chrome was peeling and I despise chrome .. ) and of course ; moose badges as standard.

To be honest its been a bit random, sometimes when its idling high (say 1.3k ish) you can pop it into drive, then neutral then back to park and the idle drops to normal, then slowly rise again.
I'm in several minds as to what the issue is, it also seems to throttle itself when boosting hard (not all the time, just now and again) on kick down or heavier acceleration, ive read this COULD be the car starving the fuel because the turbo is wound up to almost max (again, bought it like this)..
Thanks for comments

With those Kilen Springs fitted, subtle drop I think.
Not a fan of this 'Slammed stance' stuff, I like being able to.. you know.. drive my car..

lol idle.. air leak. check vac pipe underneath top rad hose. mine is still holding revs approx 1 second on gear change. but changing that hose fixed my idle prob.

Decided after I get my cambelt done next week I will be purchasing a PCV kit to straight up replace mine. I'm sure mines had it, stiff tube on top the rocker cover (ooer), and rapidly inflates a glove over top the oil filler cap (right?), any particular place to get them from anyone know of, sure they're about 90-120£.. be doing it myself as I see its fiddly but I do have patience.

Was just curious as to if you were to leave the PCV system as is for a prolonged period, can it wreck an engine? I read of people saying 'oh pcv eventually needs doing' as if it has been driven like that for ages no sweat, I'm just paranoid leaving it a few more weeks may kill my engine.

Cheerios.
