[Mk2] [Turbo] real BAD misfire

following on from my earlier post - just approached motorway and the car had a slight misfire at 4k rpm so thought it would be ok to drive me home 20 miles. Did about 5 miles and it got worse.

Put it back in but wrong way round :oops: it sparked then I put it the right way in and went to start the car - all good. Went for a small r...
