Just a quick correction to my post #16. In example #1 I stated that the spark would get possibly "blown out" by the increasing airflow caused by upping the boost.

I've been doing a fair bit more research on this and I was in fact incorrect to a degree. The airflow doesn't "blow out" the spark, what happens is, as the pressure in the combustion chamber increases, so does the resistance to the spark. Eventually the pressure and therefor resistance, reaches a point at which the spark can no longer fire. I assume brand new oem coils would be able to create a strong enough spark under my conditions but as my coils are old, they're wearing out.

There is also the fact that this pressure/resistance increase can also trigger the spark to earth out through hairline splits in the housing of your coils, as many people have mentioned having in their coils (Fixed by taping them).

      Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!

      Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
