In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Dyno moved to Monday ...
Long story, but if it can go wrong at the moment, it does ... wouldn't start today, so swapped the (already new) plugs and voila, it starts - for one go and then won't crank over at all ... plugs were shot from all the false starts I'd suggest ...
Yep, you guessed it, starter motor!!!
Getting a new one tomorrow ...
Not humorous anymore ...

Thanks to Lucas for reminding me with his thread!! After the initial dramas, with the band adjusted, the new valve body is fairly awesome. Sharp changes, no flaring etc and all in all, very pleased!
Should make a difference when it finally comes home and I can give it a bit to test it out further.

One thing i found when tuning is that ngk plugs crap out with rich fuel mixtures quite easily.
I haven't read your whole thread but i thought i seen something about an aftermarket ecu.
Can i ask why you didn't go with the factory ecu and nistune.
You got it mate - NGK and rich mix and they were black as a bats butt!!!
Needed some thing to control a few more aspects with the turbo setup, and the Wolf also takes over things like the MAP sensor, MAF sensor, oxygen levels, injection dwell and sequencing times, etc,etc. not heard of any "piggy back" style setup that sort of comes close truth be told (even compensation settings for high and low impedance injectors, fuel cutoff when TPS below certain voltage (for stopping and certain cruising, boost compensation in the low end to minimise lag, etc).
Not saying they don't exist, and to be honest know not much of Nistune, but general consensus from people in the industry (who have no vested interest as I didn't get it through them) is that the Wolf v500 is the ducks guts for high performance tuning ...

Yeah i found most tuners haven't even heard of nistune but it would have made things a hell of a lot easier by the sound of it if you could find a tuner that was willing to learn how to use it.
Once tuned ngk plugs are ok i usually throw bosch in just to save the trouble atleast they recover on their own.
Heres some info on the nistune http://www.nistune.com/ basically turns your factory ecu into something you can live tune with.
I found factory ecu's have more functions suitable to the individual vechile more offsets and function tables for cold starts and drivability .
Where as most of the aftermarket jobs tend to be ok if you want a 1/4 mile race car.
I found most tuners will throw a car on the dyno tune it under full throttle conditions and say job done screw the drivability.
