Little_ant · November 14, 2006, 06:25:15 PM

nope got some sort of mines ecu fitted, was warned it might cause the car to run lean could this be a problem i was kinda off the clock (kph) at the time on a private road of course :p

with what mods?

Little_ant · November 14, 2006, 06:45:55 PM

exhaust running the standard cat, HKS mushroom filters and the air pump unplugged cos it was making a horrible noise

Possable that you have a bad Air pump and if you don\'t use one over time the Cat will Clog up and Die, Usaly the signs are Mostly up the Rev range or under load (Boosting)

Are you getting First Turbo Boost now?

sounds possible as the air pump was unplugged when i got it, how much would i be able to pick a second hand one up for?

Air pump or cat?

I may know where there is a Cat,Air pump and a Decat.

Little_ant · November 14, 2006, 11:42:08 PM

air pump, and that decat you have will it work with my ecu or do i need the power FC as i remeber someone saying as long as the bore of the pipe is the same as the cat it wont mess the standard mapping up

Jit · November 14, 2006, 11:43:32 PM

you really need to lose the mines completely anyhow IMO and get something programmeable in its place...and get it programmed...

Little_ant · November 14, 2006, 11:46:20 PM

its all part of the future plan i just cant afford to do it untill after xmas as i have found out there are NO uk mines dealers who i can speak to for advice i have even spoken to pip for advice about it and he is a little unsure about it. i want to get a power FC for it as i want to move over to a Big single T04s or a T04z with a extended street port.

Grizzly · November 14, 2006, 11:57:05 PM

TBH if i was you i\'d get rd of the Air pump and Put a decat on. I can\'t see there being any Big Effects with a Std bore decat? I think its the 3" Down pipe that you\'d start having Boost Problems with.

BTW the To4S is a smallish Plain bearing Turbo and the To4Z is a Monster Roller Bearing Turbo there quite Diffrent

right i will have that decat when i get paid then

start of next month
