Hi all,
Took my car to get MoT'd running lovely just overboosting and hitting the limiter which I have now sorted. Go to put it on the ramps and the bloody thing died and couldn't get it started again. Got it home and managed to get it up and running something like but when i go along the street and the turbo kicks in it stutters a little bit and then takes off. I've got it booked in with a place next week to get it set up. Its running the KE jetronic system and its amazing how many people won't touch it due to the fuel pressure needing to be spot on.
I've replaced the auxillery air valve that sits on the back of the inlet manifold what does this actually do? Is this a sensor to alter the mixtures etc when the engine gets warm?
Your help and advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

I converted my MK4 Cabbie to an RS which is basically the same wiring. Are you putting a full loom into the car from a a MK4??
