Finally running right after 2 years of ownership!

[rxangus]

Pleased to say that after owning my FD for almost two years, it is finally running properly!!

Believe it or not I never experienced the full twin turbo feeling until last week. Many thanks to Pip at WGT for sorting things. Well worth the 700 mile round trip!!

Also got a power FC and commander fitted and setup at the same time.

Now getting 240BHP at the wheels at only 6000rpm!!!

It\'s certainly very quick now!!!

For those who are interested, problems have been as follows:

No secondary boost when I picked up the car. Ran around like this for a couple of months before going to WGT and Pip diagnosing a blocked cat.

Fitted a straight through pipe which gave me two turbos but kept getting  fuel cut due to overboosting (standard ECU). Two months later no secondary boost again and this was diagnosed several months later as a faulty solenoid pack.

Got Pip to fit a new solenoid pack last summer but now only 7 psi on second turbo.

Back to Pip last week and he found a hose collapsing on secondary turbo.

So all in all I\'ve spent about £2500 getting the car fixed since I bought it not including around £170 in fuel for each trip to WGT.

Then there\'s been the servicing too!!

Ah well.....time to enjoy

Hi Angus,
glad the cars running good now. Pleased for you.

I\'ll be posting the same soon I hope. 1 year of the car running right and 1 year off it not, so fingers crossed it gets sorted this time.
What mods do you have to get 240 at the wheels?

Apexi ECU
Induction kit
Back box
Replacement CAT pipe?
anything else?
