   So guys noticed car seems to smell of burning oil in the cab and also has a burning smell on the outside, not just exhaust fumes.
   
   Car heaters do seem to get up to blowing hot pretty quick, defo quicker than before the conversion.
   
   Also car runs very lumpy like they do when they have sport cams fitted and unmapped.
   Is this anything to do with me running low comp Pistons on a NA engine in mapped?
   
   Thanks guys

   I had similar smells with mine - but it was leaking oil from the oil cap.
   
   New cap and a wee clean up and it smells a hundred times better.
