Well it's been a very long time since I last updated this... and the controller still hasn't materialised and I'm right at the end of my patience, and so is Matt.

I've SORN'd the car, as the MOT ran out a while back and the tax is due at the end of the month.

If nothing positive happens in the next month or so, I'm going to seriously consider my options.

I've essentially got 3 choices...
1) wait longer for the bit of kit to appear that may or may not ever happen / buy an alternate but inferior controller from DarkIce.
2) find an alternate turbo to use that isn't VNT - but nothing "off the shelf" is around
3) strip the car and sell up trying to re-coup some of the costs to put towards another workhorse/daily.
