I'm Mauritian too but living in London and I can proudly say there are a lot of NICE JDM cars over there! And some absolutely fantastic roads! Welcome to UKSO!

Random update, apart from the car not boosting properly at times I still love it even more every time I drive it. Apart from general maintenance and a plugs/oil/filter change not much has changed. Got a HID kit ready to fit and the intercooler is probably getting raised up this weekend so it sits flush in the bumper, then I have to figure out what front splitter I want - Probably a Leon Cupra R splitter. Random shot with a friends new Yaris:

Saw you today in my mates golf, going past the Matalan in Purley.. are you on here?

Haven't got a boost controller I believe it's just the standard management setup with actuator. I drive the car cold but I don't boost till it's warm (75ish degrees+) but it seems to want to boost by itself. As in if I'm in 2nd on light throttle it will spike up in boost and the whole car will judder. I find it odd how it used to be fine cold and run like crap warm, but now it's the other way round..

No management at the moment. And it does boost all the way to 0.5 I just mean on light throttle it goes from -0.8 to -0.4 then suddenly goes to +0.1 then I get chatter, as in it boosts all over the place but when the cars warm it runs perfect. Would changing the gap from 0.9mm to 0.8mm fix the juddering at cold temps do you think?

I've got a TD04 GT running 0.5bar and at first when I got it it was fine when cold but when the engine warmed up it started to judder on medium/hard acceleration, and the boost gauge would on light throttle go from -0.8 to -0.3 and -0.4 then a hard kick as it started boosting and would build enough boost to chatter even on light throttle. I changed the spark plugs for NGK iridium heat range 7's and gapped them at 0.9mm and now it's the opposite. It judders and runs like crap when cold but when the cars warm its perfect and boosts just fine. Anything I should look for? As it's really hard to drive it when it's juddering from cold. Thanks in advance.

Do you have the rear seatbelt buckles (the things with the red button that says 'PRESS' on it) and the rear seatbelt bolts?

Sorry about the lack of response, I was on holiday. Does anyone have these with the bolts? Thanks in advance.
