when you say plugged it in what do you mean? Is it hard wired in or do they come as a plug and play item????
Reason being i am only familiar with HKS ones and this involves hard wiring it into the ecu harness.

hello,it has a plug that goes into the ecu and another plug that takes the original ecu plug and a single black wire that i presume is an earth,so you plug the ecu plug into the defencer and then plug the defencer into the ecu.:confused:

either way is there a reason yer doing the FCD thing i\'m just not a big fan of them as it strikes me it\'s treating a symptom not the problem 
which can\'t be good........
Fair enough if nowt wrong other than you got one cheap i suppose but just my paranoid thoughts....
Si (x ECU had a FCD new one is a power FC
)

yes i do have a problem with the car,its overboosting and i just want to find out why so i bought the defencer as part of my process by elimination,if that makes any sense:)

similarly mine came with oveboostig issues & FCD so that wont solve it as such IMO mine was then thou pucker with a new apexi power FC as my ECU wasn\'t communicating properly which is unlikely to be same prodblem but as i say mine was solved with new ECU....
