well the 1st thing i would be doing if i was you would be to register it with the dvla as a 1.6 turbo IMO

tax fraud is something to be frowned apon, and not to mention you insurance will be Void if you have an accident

You need a rising rate fuel pressre regulator (FPR). You then need it setting up as opposed to just plonking it on & hoping for the best.

Avoid using the car until this is sorted, or risk engine failure!

I know the car quite well, what Baxter said is completly correct lol

When it was first built it was a right machine TBH, saw plenty of action round my way that ole Nova has chap :thumb: was a really nicely done pre Nurburg tho
