Got a feeling the sfi box isn't sitting flush, I only have 3 bolts in and 2 of them are rounded so not tight properly.
But can't find any anywhere, if anyone has some for sale that would be grand

I found out what the problem was with the fuel pump not working, the wire had come out where I had connected it haha so now have a working fuel pump rather than it running all the time on ignition.
Also got the arb fitted and drives loads better, dont have as much torque steer now.
Still have a problem with hunting idle, tried everything, going to borrow a brand new icv next weekend to eliminate that and if that's what it is I'll get one ordered.
Excuse the paint chop on the bumper, when I had it sprayed the guy didn't plastic prime it ffs

Just a daft one but check the doughnut rubber on the sfi airbox. And that the airbox actualy has the gasket under it i know this might sound daft but i have had both of these problems on an xe and searched for months to sort it thinking it was simply sensors etc

It's a brand new doughnut I put on.
Not got a proper gasket, bought one off ebay and it came and paper thin, so put it on and put loads of gasket sealer on so shouldn't have any gaps, I have sprays wd40 around it while running and revs dont change

Other daft issue i have had was the non return valve on the vac pipe to brake servo. Car only ran smooth with brake pressed down

Yeah it drives like a completely different car with it on.
Just unstable with it of, put the power down and it was all over the road.
Put It on and it's stiffer and drives loads better, the power delivery is alot smoother and doesn't pull the car to the sides as much

Good to hear first hand experience, this will likely make me look out for a front ARB
Been bashing my head trying to sort out the hunting idle, borrowed a brand new gm icv from Adam Beard put it on and idle was at 3k, fucked about trying to find any air leaks put new gasket on sfi box etc.
Then trued the tps moved it slightly so was in the middle and boom idles alright now, idling at 1k and revs clean doesn't hold revs just comes straight back down.
Only slightly hunts now if I have heaters on full and headlights on.
So looks like I need a new icv

Got the side skirts finished spraying and put on today.
Still need the wheels refusing but that's gonna have to wait because I've ran out of money to spend on it .
So tyres and an air filter then it's ready to go for the MOT
