Fitted the 2 coil packs and 2 leads today...
Took it for a spin and what a difference, to me feels like no hesitation now, feels alot faster..
going back on the rollers on thursday to asee whats what..
Also got pod (cheers to muppetsport) for my boost gauge but need to get extra vac hose as one that came with guage is no way long enough as i'm going to fit it to the fuel pressure regulator.
so now had
New NGK laser plugs (same ones as scoobies use)
oil and filter
2 coil packs and leads
goi ng to get panel filter too soon...
all good though hope it gains on the rollers..

To a certain degree yeah. It probably wont be the graph that will tell you the problem tho, it will just show you where abouts in the rev range the problem is happening - That then should make it easier to diagnose!
What are your symptoms?

Nice one mav, nothing worse than problems like that and not bein able to work em out, gradually replacing bits usually gets you ther in the end, just can be expensive if not found early!
