    It would be much appreciated if someone could tell me about the fuel pump. Is it a 9v resistor pack jobby to get round the voltage drop when cranking? Or just a straight 12v supply to the petrol pump?

    The turbo pump has a resistor pack to run at two speeds, normal operation and flat out for maximum demand.

    The n/a is single speed.

    Both are 12v, but I guess what.you really need to look at is the LPH and that.the return will work ok with the diesel injector pump.

    That's very helpful. I'm going to have a go at leaving all the fuel tank stuff as is and hoping it will pump through the injector pump.

    Time will tell :)

    If you get the seat ecu remapped you can get the immobiliser removed out of the ecu at the same time making life easier. Use a quality clutch as the one in my golf started slipping in no time with the 150 map it had on it, I had to take the ecu off and go back to 110 bloody boring now.

    Was that just a remap or a turbo and fmic as well to get 150 bhp? If so where did you get that mapped as I need it in my life!

    I got it done by a place in Ashton near me but look on ebay ecu that have been mapped are no more than 150

    A little update on my (lack of) progress :)

    I've not done a huge amount as the clutch on my cr**y 106 diesel failed in a way that meant it wouldn't disengage. So I've taken the gearbox off that and am waiting for a new clutch plate to arrive.

    Spot the piece of metal where it shouldn't be......



    On the plus (but rather expensive side) I'm driving the scimitar 90 miles a day, getting plenty of admiring looks and really enjoying the car (at 5 times the cost!!!).

    Back to the MR2, I've been doing a bit of loom thinning, this time its the TDI loom, its about halved so far, I need to go get some of the controls to keep going with the job now.


    More to come.
