May have bought a slightly more hardcore intercooler. 
On more boring news, she still seem to be averaging over 50mpg, despite the crap weather, winter tyres and dead maf. Going to change the tracking settings a touch, sort a bigger exhaust, get a good maf on there, change back to my summer wheels and fit the refreshed pre-heater unit. Oh, and put some gearbox oil in, as a persistent whining leads me to suspect mine may have been leaking...
Hopefully that'll see a good rise in mpg, i know you can barely contain yourselves waiting for the results, so i'll be sure to keep you all well informed.
Luckily enough i've got another box to go on with the new engine build (thanks Toms306!), to which i'll now be mating a lovely helix paddle kit, courtesy of Dum-Dum. The cost of the clutch was the one thing holding the whole engine build back, so now it's sorted we'll be ready to set too by the time we get back from the Nurburgring trip. Oh and i got the Avos back btw, and oooooo are they shiny, they went and anodised the spring collars for me too.
They'll be going back on the car before the trip, as will a less conspicuous bonnet.
