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.
