is your car mapped yet?

Yeah, been mapped for ages. I'll test it properly tomorrow, really wanting to know if that is about right for it being revved with no load.

loooking at it, it goes down? and it should be sitting at 0 when engine is running?

I thought it was supposed to sit at 0 with the engine off, and drop below 0 when idling?

Just to check, I've bypassed the n249 valve so the pipe coming from the fpr goes to the bottom of the inlet and another pipe goes from the bottom of the inlet to the top of the d/v.

I've T'd into the pipe going from fpr - inlet, that the right one?

Nope, don't think so, all pretty much straight.
