Bump - I've now gone ahead and had a 1Y fitted. Thanks to Phil Miller on this forum, i'm now running with 29% more torque. Phil did a fantastic job on this, i'm really chuffed with it!

I've written a blog post about it here:-

are you using the 1Y exhaust mani? looks a tidy swap, although how have you done the cold start side of it?

[Oldiebut goodie]

1Y exhaust and inlet manifolds. Welded up 4 right angled bends to construct the exhaust pipe to give the same routing as the CS one.

Cold start, I ditched the temp operated gubbins that was on there and just converted it back to using the cable by drilling out the sensor and feeding cold start cable through it.Adjusted the lever stops so that there was more movement so that I could tell that the lever had been pulled!

Fair play, very good work there, the exhaust looks factory tbh
