"but if I get right up it and it loses traction (rarely ever and only ever up a hill)   it dies in the ass, usually pops and has a breakdown for 30 seconds or so"

 

 

It's valve springs

So exhaust is in,  wastegate fixed and the difference is unreal,  it's a bit loose in the dry even on 20"s lol.  A little bit smokey but that's probably because the tune needs a slight touch up but other than that it's going the way it should be!

The bloke might be act like his gold plated vibrator order is running late but I agree with that. The lifters pump up and the sh*tty springs can't get the valves shut.

Apparently *beep* is a naughty word.

20's won't give you grip, it's tyre choice and width man.  You might even find there is actually more grip with an 18" of the same width and tyre model due to increased sidewall giving a bit more flex!

 

Also the ride feel on ultra low profile sucks ass if you don't have really smooth roads.
