If its on the gear lever, you can use it to full throttle shift with as well, with more pops and bangs

it only needs a 12v supply to the red and the main black.
whilst holding down both buttons on the unit apply the 12v,
if the unit is working the led will flash,
then go from there,

right just read all 3 pages and i have the button on the steering wheel and a little juck plug on the steering cowel so can just unplug the button and unhook when not working.....
and also it does make a very big diffference when doing full throttle gear changes as you are not shutting the tb to stall the turbo and as soon as i take my foot off the clutch i still have instant full boost.........no waiting for it to spool back up...

Hi lee this was my first ever go at 1/4 mile in anything so yes the 12.7 is my PB
this was taken from my restro thread if your intrested here is the full version
https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...er=asc&start=0
this was my first ever go at 1/4 mile in anything so yes the 12.7 is my PB
Top Day
Nice to meet you John your little Nova fly’s think you was running 12.5's till you came up against me look forward to meeting up again
Also see A Dude from the Bedford track Day called Terry, he was in a 4dr Mk2 escort with cossie running gear loved it at Bedford as i did at the Pod
Also Danny B was about for most of the day with his littlen, had a good chat about different bits and bobs regarding my car and others ect Nice to see you Again if your reading this
Dan has filled you in on most of the days going ons but i would just like to say when i suggested going to the POD mike was "why bother you will only break something" and "what’s the point your car will do 13.6" Blah Blah
Well on my first ever run had a EVO8 FQ3whatever revving up next to me and i thought shit im going to get my arse handed to me on a plate here rolled up to the lights revved the car up to the limit the lights went green and off i went
My number is 437 on the left BTW
My mate said you ran a 13.99 i was like Fcuk im never going to beat 13.6 but when i went and got the slip it was 13.099
was well chuffed
anyway after that i started messing about with the suspension making it harder and softer ect, missed 4th on my 4th run which was my worst of the day and i still ran a 13.6 "mike"
My times for the day was
13.099
13.093
13.067
13.697
13.101
13.012
12.850
13.021
12.902
13.048
12.851
12.797
12.848
12.978
missed 2 slips don’t know where they went
but anyway heres the one that maters
when i rang mike and was like i smashed 13.6 on my first launch he was like yeah well i did a 12.8 in my saph at your power and when i called and said i smashed that he was like well yeah i ran a 12.6 with 380 and rwd
talk about move the goal posts almost destroyed the car trying to get a 12.5 as i know the car has it in it but at the end of the day for some reason they put loads of water down which meant i was spinning all over the shop and when i tried to slow the launch down it was just bogging and then spinning
Its all good fun tho and i had a fantastic day really enjoyed myself and the Omex launch control is the titts i think the consistency of my times prove that don’t you?
Also for anyone who’s interested the car did a terminal of 108.22mph and a 1.77 to 60ft
im now off to bed as im fucked cant wait to see some of the pick the photographer got as when it was wet late in the day the car was crabbing all over the shop of the line

Good to hear it worked
You have some nice 60fot times, about as low as it can get with 330kit
And yes you need to change gear at the limiter to fully use the power in each gear

Dick I mean Chip i think the nitrous system and the progresive controler comes to more than a grand and it just so happend when i came up against him i was quicker off the line and got a faster time and beat him over the line so hayho but anyway you have to have a pop about my ford as the other cars a vauxhall after all
Is a super little car tho that Nova and its green just loved how simple it was, will you be taking yours to the Pod once its all done and finished? hows the Exhaust problem going for the track ect?

Yeah I'll take mine to the pod once its done, but I doubt it'll be much quicker than that green one as mine is about 400kg heavier than that one, so even with the extra power, it wont have any better power to weight.
Exhuast should hopefully be ok for castle combe days, but is never going to get me out at bedford in it sadly
