already fitted the parts that i was gonna pick up from volvo on saturday morning so i should be there early

still have the same boost problems though so may not bother with the RR, or may just connect the ebc and run it at 15psi and see what happens.

edit. all i have to do now is phone up work, say that i'm sick and sneak some jeans and a top into the car while the mrs isnt watching

Great morning, really enjoyed it, sorry I had to leave early but I'm sure everyone coped without me

Bloody terrifying watching your own car on the rollers for the first time ever but a really worthwhile and interesting experience. I was more interested in seing the power and torque curves than the actual peak figures. The curves really backed up my feeling of how the car drives and were just what I was expecting/hoping for but the peak figures came as a very pleasant surprise!

Got some pics and videos which I will post later.

.sig updated

Cheers,
John
