Few is an understatement.  Very comprehensive.

I went through Scott's website, and basically did all he recommended.  I
can say the car has never run better.  Idles perfect, hits 1.3 bar
without fail, and the mpg is up.  BTW, replacing what appeared to be a
perfectly functioning throttle switch cleared up throttle
inconsistencies  (700-950 rpms at idle)  and increased the boost levels.
Boost also seems to come on quicker.  Do what he recommends.

HTH,
