Title: 4 bar regulator question?
Post by: golf-sib on 28 October 2009, 20:43

I am planning on ordering a 4bar regulator to replace the 3bar one, howver I have been told not to as it will fail emissions, is this true, if it is I'm quessing a custom map will fix it or is it gibberish?

Many thanks in advance

Alex

No, its becasue your sensor has been set up with a 3 bar fpr, so this is confusing it with a 4 bar.

its not a big problem, you just smile more when you look at it  :grin:

you should only have one if your doing a stage 2,  but with some maps you dont evan need it,   i have one with my Revo stage 2.

you will prob see worse lol,  but if you drive sensibley then it should not change the mpg.
