So new engine is run in (on dyno) and car back together - a few niggles with the EMU and the aircon. - but quickly sorted. Car went on dyno for mapping - was over boosting... Seems my CAT is knackered.
I have an early 2bular manifold and sportscat, which has a Flexi section. The latest sportscat does not have this, so Jim made me up a new cat, and a 'donut' connector to give some flex. As has always been the case for me, Jim turned this around quickly.
H111 due to fit the new Cat today - but wanted to know if I was happy without the Flexi section - which as far as I know is the same for oem and larini and others (i.e. no Flexi) - I think they were concerned as I have the engine mount inserts.
Can I solicit any other owners who have aftermarket manifolds and cats and also engine mount inserts that this has not caused them any issues ?

ok.. so picked up car on Thursday from Hangar 111 - its been a while, but they fitted me in between other jobs as Toyota did not cover labour on the new engine warranty. Headline figures - 298hp and 199 lbs/ft - more than I was expecting - but of course its a rolling road, you never know how accurate - but - it now goes like a stabbed rat - the torque hole in the standard and even Komotec maps using the T4 ecu are gone.
When I got home, I took my son out in it, we happened across an Evora 410 on some country roads - we kept up, under acceleration too
The EMU also now catches any potential stall upon dipping the clutch, well known on here on manual throttle cars especially. I haven't yet connected to usb to look at the ECU - although I won't play with it, as it feels good to me. I may need another 'map' for MOT, but not sure yet..
Overall, happy with car now its back

Folks - those of you with EMU black - it takes a couple of minutes for the fuel level to get to its actual level sometimes - do you guys see that at all ?
I have a gar, but didn't get that behaviour with the stock ECU
