Ok update. Yes the bonnet closes. They (Titan) had to adjust the angle of the itb's as per TDI's suggestion. They have ordered a new cam pulley so they can dial in as much as 50 degree advance. There are a few other tweaks going on to the header and so on. Then mapping ahoy an Paul can do his thing. Cannot wait to hear these. If I'm honest I'm not to bothered about the power. She was quick enough for me. But she should sound great.

How can you ruin the look of those sexy trumpets with that horrid sponge filter?! :lol:
I know there's a practical reason along with engine safety, but...

so the TDI lads brought my car back, ear plugs and all whilst I was setting up for Trax. I was to say the least excited to see it.
Well. It seemed to go down well at the show, lots of interest. Also when the TDI guys used it to render assistance to someone at JAE, it was there even if I was not.
I had a chance to give the car a wee blast on the two hour drive home. Combining motorways. Dual carriageways and some B roads. The car performed beautifully. Even being easy to potter in slow moving traffic on the M1. On a hot day it was so smooth with no hunting or anything.
When I gave her a wee blast up through the gears the response was ridiculous. Instant. The sound is bonkers, proper proper bonkers. Oh and it is rather quick too. Feels smoother and just pulls in any gear even in 6th. Hard to describe really. The guys say there's more to come. They are going to build a new exhaust and we are going to drop in some of their cams.
All in all over the moon with the result. As a point to point car there is more power than you will ever need and it's all there instantly. No lag no waiting for anything to spool or wind up.
Oh yes. Needs an LSD. Badly. Very badly.
we are also going to change the exhaust for one of their own. That should quieten it down enough to be track friendly, plus swap the cams out as that will give a little more power lower down and stress the train less as the current cams wants to make power closer to 9k.
