Default FAO Stu :)

I had a bit of a drive in the car tonight. First time since I fitted the turbo and the other bits - fook me it flies!!!

23.5 psi at the minute, I figure I'll quite while I'm ahead and leave the other couple of psi to you when it comes your way

Couple of odds and ends to sort out first - I think my ISCV is a bit sticks as it hunts a bit when it's cold, and the other thing is it surges slightly when I back off in the midrange - just one kind of shunt, then it's fine. Do you have any likely culprits for that?

Anyway, I'm well chuffed with it!! Thanks again for the help and endless patience!!

Neil.

I've fixed the hunting - cleaned the ISCV out with a bit of carb cleaner and it's nice and even now

The shunt is a bit wierd though It actually picks up when I back off!!

Anyway, I'll be in touch soon to get it set up

You mean the extra lag the Scotts said didn't exist?

PM me what terms you were think of, and I'll get back to you, bearing in mind that there will be a Ł50 price hike on any Compomotive orders placed after 15th May due to alluminium shortage putting the raw material costs up .
