marky_g When you say OFAC being plug and play, can you be a bit more specific?

I wouldn't run a T2 tbh, well not a standard one anyway.

OFAC will plug in, just recently ive had my doubts about the wiring configuration of an OFAC loom though, i have compared 3i & OFAB looms but ive not had an OFAC one in my hands, theres a possibility there may be a pin change needed to make a 3i loom OFAC but its nothing major, im still researching into it.

All the other sensors are the same with the exception of the FRST Inlet Air Temp (IAT) sensor.

OFAC isn't really that much different, the benefit with OFAB is it uses a Marelli MAP sensor so you can upgrade to a 3 bar

id never want 3 bar lol

is it any harder to fit ofab?

would i get the AIT sensor on a fez inlet?????

would i need to make a wire for this as there is a chance i may not get a loom?????

i'll keep asking about the pin change,

has anyone done the ofac plug in succesfuly?

is that all the mechanical bits i need to change?

3 bar only allows 2 bar of boost though....

Not really much different about OFAB and its only pin changes to convert the looms over.
