if you want to put leds in the side lights or the number plate light like i have you have two options you can eather wire in another buld older and hide it up out of the way so the cambus dont shut off the power or solder in resistors so the cambus thinks the bulb is still there, as for the inside bulbs ive been told its just a streight swap but i dont know as im waiting for mine to come will let you know when there done.

right mate the interior leds turned up today all in all working no messing about just a streight swap you have to have the leds the right was round and make sure there are in the holder right as they are a tad smaller but all in and look the nuts all green.

where did you get the LED's from Dave? Are they front and backs?

Im after red ones, but cant find them anywhere. Green must have been just as difficult to locate

The part no may have changed slightly as i think the newer turbos have a differant reserc valve.

Thanks Dave

Im sure its a stock turbo. What effect will this new reserc valve have on the car. Already i can feel its not as free running as my previous one. Maybe once its run in it will spool up better. And it doesn't dump as my previous one. My car is chipped btw.
