   Chek your lambda sensor before the CAT.

   And maybe also airleaks in the inlet.

   Cheers lads these are the two things I was going to check. Cars coming off the road in a bit anyways. Hopefully get all the problems sorted then bang 75bhp of nitrous in the mix

   Intake leak, AIR system, fuel pressure/pump, injectors, EVAP canister purge valve, HO2S. According to Autodata

   Well I knew I had two bolts missing on the inlet. Now the problem is trying to put the bolts in with the engine in place.
   
   Its the two bolts facing upwards at the back on the inlet. Any ideas?

   just put them in and use a short allen key. also, you dont have the air pump fitted as your car isnt a vts so that may bring that code up aswell. got a working ecu yet?
