The old steering wheel was the worst I have ever seen. Never thought it would buff out..



But it did. About 1 hour of sanding, recoloring and leather treatment, and it looks 90% like new. Best value for money ever!



Did a couple of boost tests, and Zip tie to top of DVs was last culprit. Now 1.2 all day long



Had a oil leak and it was from a crack in the hardline.



Tried to swap it with a braided solution..



Braided solution to replace oil hard line to turbo failed. Using a 45 deg. AN6 was too tall. Got hold of a new OEM part.



Car is now running great



A nice place to be. Will swap steering wheel later when I have put paddles on the original one.

Perhaps for cutting out some ducting and improving air flow...
