im with speedo....tis the 19th tomorrow... :huh:
think Martz has got his weeks mixed up :smiley:
-
still waiting to hear what happened to yours dizzy!?!
any news pal?
-
sorry for the late reply.
in a nut shell my actuator seized up meaning we had no control on my boost levels. I have a video on the phone of it almost jumping off the rollers.
I now need a new actuator which I bought yesterday so that needs fitting. then new management to get the most of the engine. At the moment the wastegate is locked open to it doesn't spin the turbo so low compression and no turbo makes very little power.
I'm buying a DTA E48 ECU on sunday. I'll need a new boost sensor to go on the engine and a loom to link it all up. then a map done and I'll be rocketting away. the standalone management gives slightly better results than the OEM so I've been told I'll be looking at 240bhp now. :D
I'm on a bit of a downer at the moment and I have the MOT tomorrow. those emissions bettered not be too mental. looking for another cheap as f**k mk2 to use while mine is having the loom made.
-
bugger, sounds expensive! but at least if u end up with more power ther is a positive to take from it!
-
Hey Martz, I hope you read this thread as the RR is next Saturday the 26th not tomorrow. :shocked: Oh dear, a weeks worth of grime and sh@t to clean off again next week ! :laugh: :laugh:
-
Bo11ox! I have been to busy lately to notice! Thanks Gibby, saves me the blushes! Oh well, I will have time to put my silicone hoses on now! :smiley:

seeing as it passed the mot today, ill be taking the rallye now.. speedo/slick if you want to meet up on the way and convoy over let me know. i usually go A5 -> M1 to get to silverstone.. if you want to do that i could meet you where the A5 crosses the M42 at J10, there's a services there.
-
Been on the phone most of the day trying to sort out new management. Spoke to Matt @ designa dubs today and I think he wants to help me out. he's going to make the new loom for my DTA management when I can get over there and give me a map to get me 220bhp.
still need to swap the actuators over which I'll be doing next weekend probably. will buy the other bits and peices ready to go again soon as!

buzzin, got mi cash put to 1 side ready for next week lads, so amm deffo in attendance.... :wink: :laugh:
