Bonjourno Amigo's, time has almost come to book in for my remap :cool:.
What should I be inspecting / replacing!? please add to the list in my head im thinking
*Engine oil
*Engine oil filter
*Inline fuel filter
*A tankfull of Tesco momentum 99 ron and redex
+!?
thanks
-
your insurance :lipsrsealed:
-
redex :huh: that is worst crap made by man :grin:
give it a oil change if needs be .. scan for fault codes..check boost pipes any splits etc.. but wherever you get it remaped they will check pipes and scan it for you..if they dont then there sh!t
oh and get some v power in there tesco is to do shopping not fueling :wink:
-
Maf,n75 and as said boost hoses and breather hoses a good remapping place would pick up on these before remapping.need a strong actuator and a good clutch as if its on its way out a map will finish it off.
-
and for arguements sakes I get there and theres is a problem with basic items such as hoses etc will they stock them as Its a good 300 mile trip :lipsrsealed:
reading back on that I guess I really need to be asking r-tech :grin:

had mine done at r tech,when i rang and asked first of all they said common probs were maf,n75 and actuator so i got new maf and n75 and took chance on actuator.but id already fitted uprated boost hoses you could prob get a set for £70 a good investment imo.like you say ring them and see wot they say.i think they have mafs and n75 valves there.

Tesco 99 cool read indepth article some time ago on fuels tesco 99 actually gave better performance output than v-power only bp ultima out performed it. Were using golf mk5 gti and bmw m5,run tesco its all cool.
-
recirc valve for 007p pcv pipes boost pipes etc catch can is a good one to do and delete pcv system its what r-tech recomended to me maf and n75 as said :cool: good exhaust helps to and a silicone tip :wink:

The car

The car
:grin:
-
well thats a good headstart :cool:
Current spec is
*AUQ180 80k miles
*Forge Tip
*3" turbo back non res exhaust system
*Toyosport FMIC
*Uprated Re-circulating valve
*Toyosport Cold air induction kit
So hopefully fingers crossed we shall see some good bhp/torque figures :smiley:
-
boooooost leaks :grin:
R-Tech might stock the items if you need them, I know Nick tried ringing round loads of places to find me a MAF but couldn't get a genuine one first time I went up so I had to go home with half a map lol

not gonna lie feeling pretty nervous now after hearing all this :grin:

i wont lie i was nervous to mate.do you have a boost guage fitted?do you think the cars boosting ok now and running ok?
-
mine was boosting to what it should have been standard but still had a boost leak somewhere and faulty maf so checking them for corrosion before hand will help :wink: still car was great and power was awsome but now the leak is done its like a new map thats even better :laugh:

Atleast its not just me then :grin:
I do indeed bud, peaks at about 10/11psi then settles down to 9psi!
As far as I know the car is healthy, I do have one fault code (an exhaust emmisions one) but thats only ever started appearing since iv had the 3" turbo back straight through pipe put on so ive put it down to that!? :lipsrsealed: but I hear on a the stage 2 custom remap they alter/delete the lambda/emmisions readings!?

Boost sounds ok,wouldnt know about ur emissions thing.wouldnt hurt to fit a new gen maf though mate
