The return of the real(ish) GTi

With the original mmc inlet manifold firmly bolted back in place, the transformation is finally complete..full mmc electronic control is regained. Power is back to (nearish) stock configuration but as usual, top speed isn't tested yet. Last set of runs with the idling issues gave me about 185km/h top end, here's hoping that the mivec extractor works it's magic. It's been exactly a week of worrying and dreaming about manifolds, throttle bodies and sensors, and since it took so damn long to complete, it hardly feels any more special than the other day when I was grinning all the way home after having had fixed the ac/idle problem. Apparently my compressor is faulty now and makes a strange vibrating noise at high revs. I beg to differ, but with my normal driving style it seems relatively okay. It could be the manifold, but then again, I'm really tired of this. So tired, that all I want to do is lower the car and call it quits.
