just been out in it.

holdin 28 psi.

as before on group A coil etc etc, 0.5mm no miss.

opened it up to 0.8 mm missin so bad boost falls off, then trys to build up.

now at 0.65mm, but still a very slight miss top end.

so something needs sortin.

there was one of the other guys who had something similar, the board can only drive 1 tacho, if 2 are connected, neither work, SECS modded it , or sorted an extra driver specifically for that purpose i think.
