Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!

Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.

My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!

Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide.

If you set it lower than your tuner set it to and demed safe, she will very likely melt on boost.

what CO meter ya got btw

remember a halford 150 quid job machine is totally crap ( no offence and im sure ya already know this )

ive tested one at work then used the sunn mot testing machine and to say it was a bit off is a understatment, my CO was 9%


tbh i think ya ned to see a tuner as for the sake of 70 quid ya can save alot more money, ya might even find its somink silly like oil in the zorst ect

abdr500,
so are all cossy runnig high co
No.
My non lambda equipped software runs 2.5% max. My Lambda software runs 0.6% max.

3Bar fuel pressure with the pipe disconnected is wrong BTW. Its too low.

I recommend you simply call EA. Ask them what it should be set to foir their software, and use your analyser to set it if your confident its accurate and you have no other problems.
