Sounds like between you and your friends you all have mis-matched parts which is leading to random performance.

something like that ...the car passed its MOT in green but this loom is desinged for 30hp more so in teory the car shot be ritch whit fuel and i shoudnt pass... the ony difference I found it is in this eec V ecu everythig else is standard 1.6 16v and car does 0-60 in 9.4s accoring to the Tazzo

the loom isnt making the difference, if anything the ecu and maybe throttle body/maf
