Ever since i started back with the xud engine after a long break i seem to have become addicted to the "just a bit more" "one more psi" and my latest what happens if i do this to a bosch pump? I now have 5 pumps.
Anyone else get like this.
Lost count. I have 6. Shit.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

To what end...? Eventually it will blow up... 
Tbh this is what I dislike about modding, it's never enough, everytime you change something it's better for a week or two...then you want more again... Until eventually you start breaking stuff.

tuning should be done in this order for an XUD
more fuel, more boost, cold air inlet, more fuel and boost again, cook head, get head skimmed, new HG, refit, fit EGT gauge, more fuel more boost, cook head second time, fit intercooler, more boost and fuel, bigger turbo more boost, snap rod, new engine bigger intercooler 11mm pump, forged rods, second turbo, lift head, rebuild with ARP bolts...........
tuning order for an MG..
more bfuel, replace headgasket, new air filter, replace headgasket, investigate low compression problems, replace headgasket, investigate electirics problems, replace headgasket, start car, replace headgasket, inflate tyres, replace headgasket
Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!

I won them on ebay and will be picking them up this week. Need to get rebuilding and selling!! I want to keep a couple spare as test pumps though.

Im the same but with handling. Always thinking 'hmm just some stiffer springs... hmm maybe if i widen the front track just 20mm... maybe run some slightly wider tyres. right now i need bigger brakes'
