I agree with johnm. I ran mines on wastegate spring only, running 0.4/0.5 bar max (3.75" exhaust without cat).

It\'s easy to mess something up in this mess with the pills, the lines, the actuators... Need to re-check everything around the waste gate.

Hello,

By any chance, is the plate number ending with "GHX" ?

I\'m pretty sure it\'s just a confusion between "rev limiter" and "speed limiter".

1 : Depending on what your using your car for. For a street use, get one you\'ll be fine.
2 : Similar, but not on the same air flow. The WG release the exhaust flow before the turbo to manage the boost. The BOV (or anything like a relief valve or so...) is here to keep the intake (post turbo) under a low pressure.
3 : WG = exhaust, dedicated to manage the boost pressure. BOV = intake, avoid pressure when the throttle plate is closed.
4 : If you want it full stock without any troubles like backfires, the stock design is recommended. If you don\'t care or you think it\'s cool, threw it away and run without it.

For every car with a MAF it\'s necessary to get the car driveable everyday.
For every car with a MAP it\'s unecessary unless it\'s a weak turbo.

Quote from: ChrisDubbya;762323No doubt they do the math 1 in x chance turbo will go pop, warranty fix costs for the cars that do VS cost of adding BOV

That\'s how companies are making money :King

Yep but I\'m thinking that you don\'t need anything.
(BTW I believe I was wrong, 97°C is the FC one, the FD turns on at 108°C)

With a datalogit you can control the Power FC fan temps   ;)

Hello,

This is normal. The fans are turned on by a 97°C thermoswitch.
A common mod is to change this thermoswitch by a FC one, which is on at 89°C.

Sorry for your BDC licence !  The level is still raising there ...

By the way, would you mind to take a picture from your front hubs ? I think I just have messed up mines with ackerman, even if the rod is barely touching the disc...

Thanks mate :)

You want the EGT probe as close a possible from the exhaust port.
You can drill the stock manifold, it has been done by several people with success.

Remember it\'s used at it\'s limits in the video.
By the way the driver knows how to brake ^^

If you don\'t drive your FD to the limit, you will never notice any big change with or without a wing.
Anyway aero is critical and underestimated.
