As part of regular servicing I changed the pollen filter.
Previous one had about 40k on it.
Ahhh the freshness.

Removed the wastegate actuator and changed back to a 7psi spring. Found that the flapper arm was binding on the body of the turbo near full open so massaged that clear. Hands look like they've been pulled through a cheese grater. Running on a stage 2 tune now and feels really good.

Had the struts in and out today. Now its sitting on weitec lowered springs. Ride height is 330mm from centre of centre cap to guard lip. The control arm pivots are dead level. Wanted to press out my rear control arm bushes but couldn't get the ball joints to budge. Banged away but they wouldn't pop out and my ball joint pressing tool wouldn't fit under the CV housing. Didn't want to unbolts the ball joints from the control arm cos i'd loose my alignment setting. I think I'm going to have to use one of those ball joint wedges. I've never used one before. Does anyone who has find that they puncture your ball joint boots or will they separate the ball joint from the hub without ripping anything?

Get a bigger hammer Sam and apply some downward force on the arm when you hit the joint. They always go in the end.

yeah I think I was getting a bit girly and over it at the end. The trick I think is not to drink beer until you're all proud at the end of the job not during - i'll give that a go. I'll just swing harder too! . I've been told that a wedge will tear the boots on my lovely new ball joints so I won't be doing that.
