They will certainly prefer the latest revision from the dealers.  E, F or G whichever is latest revision now.  Older valves are less responsive so the ECU/valve takes longer to react so you get a touch more boost before the valve steps in.

Go to dealers,  spend £40 and get a good working valve on your motor.

I'm not a million miles away if your ever near Stockport.

If its faulty you will know as soon as you fit another that isn't  :grin:

Dude, that would have been cool... but my N75J has arrived :)

and i found that with heatsoak the valve was sticking and a blown breather pipe allowing in air pass the MAP... All sortedand she runns like a beast :D

so ool, ive even boughter her a new badge "The Interceptor" and after Tuesdays trip to R-Tec she truely will be...

I have such big plans for her, she will eat Ford's, Mig's and Scoobys for breakfast

Also gave up with the MBC as i could not get the damn thing to regulate boost, no matter how or where i installed it :/
think your getting ahead of yourself now  :grin: :grin: eat scoobys on a stage 1 map  :laugh: yeah maybe a 2.0gl
