My FJ'd 16 is going really well. I'm playing around with an adjustable
wastegate bleed and fitted a BOV. Even when stock it's fun toying with my
mate's 5L VP worked dunnydore. I think he wants an STI now as he doesn't
like being beaten !
No worries about the diagnosis, sounds like mine and yours had a dummy spit
together !
