No more leaks now that the rad cap is replaced (actually found a brand new one sitting in one of the compartments in the rear... thanks Chris!). I'm starting to think it's not starter related, perhaps the ignition switch is dying...

You can say that again.... I've done a few times now... I'm a seasoned pro!
Gear shift - you need to have a scanner attached to the car to verify operation of that switch. the light on the dash drives the system. if it is blown it will not work and you have no way of telling short or watching a scan tool. I do own one and it has been used many a time on that car.
Sounds like a bastard!
car looks good. watch the DS crew. once it gets known it will get nicked. strongly suggest a countermeasure or two on it.
Thanks man, the guys that run DS are close friends of mine so i don't go to the meets much anymore (because i catch up with them at other times). I've been really cautious since the car next to mine got stolen at west end a couple of weeks back. I keep it club locked at all times now, and at a locked premises at night... Not that that's the ultimate deterrent but it's better than nothing!
the VF20/21 combo will work fine on it . 26 will need more fuel and the ECU will boost cut hard and shut the system down.
Hmm... The smaller turbo is starting to take a shit, it's quite noisy when the car has warmed up... Maybe it's time to upgrade!
the starter IS a BG5 one but it is especially for that combo and is different to any other one. when you put the I'cooler back on make sure that you get EVERY clamp tight on it. otherwise the car will toss code 66 and lock out the TT system.
I spent MONTHS looking for leaks in that thing!
Yeah that intercooler is a real bitch. It sits right on the firewall too which doesn't help anything!
Actually, i'm going to be heading past your place in a couple of days (probably monday morning) If you're free and not doing family stuff i might pop around and say gday?
