Certainly was - on every booting it was chucking smoking out like you wouldn't believe. Was mainly black which is it overfuelling, but it was slightly blue - but again to be expected. I'd check the fuelling on WOT, it didn't look too good. :S
Also the amount of cack an smoke coming out your Clio when you boot it is shocking. I had the misfortune of being behind you, and it was like a James Bond car, lmao :D
BMTR aren't that good - took my Valver there and they said it was too low, which was absolute BS. Took it to a backstreet garage with laser tracking and they had it done quick smart...
Dont believe everything you read about the GTT being so easily tunable. Yes you can get silly power, but at the cost of reliability. 250bhp for everyday useage will mean a big ass turbo which will be laggy as feck...

Youll need the Xvid codec. Google for it if youve not got it. :)
Sounds like a split boost or vacumn hose to me. The splits can be absolutely hairline and cant be easily seen. Got a mate whose hoses you could nick before shelling out? :)
Just thought Id be social and say "Hi" since Im a bit of a lurker on these forums. A few of you might know me from the RSC. :)
Anyhoo, Im going to disappear back into the shadows from whence I came. ;)
