True, true

theres more to life than chasing ponies though!haha

really pleased with how its running, will post a vid of it this weekend to prove its still going!

I will get it dynoed as soon as financially possible, money is úber tight, every spare penny is going towards the ridiculous cost of a wedding day!

[Mini Cheddars]

Have your wedding at the dyno!

Read all 25 pages as I'm interested in picking up a second 998 at some point and basically doing exactly what you did.

I was previously set on using a Kent 266 and was umming and ahhing on a Megajolt for my daily, but after you saying the Megajolt worked wonders with your 276 as soon as you got the right map installed... well that's settled it! Kent 276 and Megajolt with MAP. Along with the other bits and bobs of course, like head.

Just need a new job first...
