i have said it fb, i will say it on here, incredibly kind of gav at a time where he must be slightly ticked off with the car
He started his engine after I'd put the standard UIM on, just to check it ran o.k., and to be honest, there doesn't sound as if there's anything wrong with it, no rattling or whining, but he's got his heart set on the ST220 engine now, so he's going ahead with the swap.

TBH I didn't notice much of a difference to start with, but obviously the ECU had to learn what mod I had (I'm not a fan of unplugging the ECU, and starting from scratch), but 30 miles in, along the M4 I definitely noticed an improvement in top end(4000 rpm+). it's really tied in well with my other mods, so, just an optimised Y pipe and decat (Mart) and remap, and performanece wise my Cat's sorted.
