Good to get update Mike but sorry about mis-hap. Ever work out why it spiked so high? Thought you had a decent EBC with protection enabled.

Haha latest update
Took a trip to turbo shop the other day to discuss fixing the engine and was going to take it down to them to get a quote for the repairs, BUT after taking the plugs out today and finding nimber two missing the entire centre to the plug I think I will look for a new engine and pay them to install it instead :D
Anyone got a gen 2 the want to part with :D
