Just fitted a stage one kit 998 from Minispares with a AAM needle, for the airbox with holes, and it runs a little rich, but no flat spots.

this mite help, this is the sheet i was given after the guy tuned it

Had a look at the readout, suggest you try somewhere else. The timing's wrong, and the mixture is too weak. I would expect the idle mixture to be set at 2.5 to 3.5% CO. As a starting point, I would set the timing at the factory standard setting for your car. I'm unsure what your engine/distributor is from, but I'm sure that with the CO set correctly, you will be need to run a lot more advance than what it is currently set at.

I went down this morning and spoke to him. I said that i thought the mixture should be higher at around 3, but he said that this would make it fail its MOT as it should be between .3 and 1.5 as it has a cat. I am currently looking for somewhere else to take it :withstupid: thanks for your comments so far guys
