This was from the Ebay advert.
So we were pretty sure the previous owner either had no idea what was actually on the car, or just lied about it on the Ebay advert.
Either way it was time to find our what was on it and start the work too.
So the vehicle came fitted with a piggy back boost ecu, and the main ecu re located up,behind the drivers head.

On the journey home, I notice that it would sometimes have boost , lots of it, then none at all.
We later found out it had a stupid turbo timer and intake pipe fitted.
So that was one of the first things to go.
We also took a look at the EGR, which was massively soothe up too.
Can’t upload those pictures again, but an EGR bypass pipe was ordered and fitted.

Next thing to go was those nice looking but useless light output individual spots on the roll cage over the windscreen.
They all had earthing problems and the bulbs were shot,
So a nice new 50 inch curved led from Ebay was the way to go.
Sorry usual problems here again, same issue when you can see the image ,but it just won’t upload,
So frustrating.,

Very nice ! I recently bought a 90 too, but not quite as loaded as yours !
Cheers Bud! Let’s see some pictures of your 90 too please!
Ours was bought for a specific reason, to be used to teach customers on our 70 acre woodland off road course.
So Despite being loaded, she still need work, and still does now to keep with the heavy load of 10-15 customers per weekend and the same and more during the week too.
You can’t post multiple images at all!
Some images despite being the direct size and mb Limit just won’t upload.
And then the most frustrating of all, using the same divide to post the same photos you just posted to Facebook, Instagram and twitter it just says “ no image to load “ .
Beyond belief.,

This is mine. 1987 ex-MoD 90 rebuilt by the previous owner 6 years ago. It's still a work in progress, as the interior needs a lot of tidying, but it's a nice change from my previous show queen New Beetle that I was scared to use !Let’s see some pictures of your 90 too please!
