Default mark shead ....

.... well the wallet was once again emptied of its contents as mark did the deed and set up the fuelling on the cossie

a few comments were made .. and thats gonna cost me more money but im glad he pointed em out
looks like the wallet wont be recovering for a few months

fuel pump
some exhaust studs missing
solder the 3 sodding connectors up
needs a few oil seals replacing

looks like national day and then refresh the engine

still want more power tho ... autronic is calling 22 psi is not enough

nice to have met the other bloke there (sorry im crap with names ) in a flint grey saff his nice clean engine bay compared to my oily one ...

after speaking to him ... i might face the fact it might be better to donate money to the "keep ryan off the streets campaign" and get a loom rather than breaking me back soldering for a few hours

well i fitted the free RS500 intercooler i had (cheers bruce ) mark set it to 22 psi .. saw a spike at 23 ish ...
gave it some throttle on the way home and it surprised me .. nice and smooth pull.. pulled really hard in second tho... caught me a bit unawares ...
not the best day to try it out tho as it was raining a bit ...

oh also got a dump valve problem ... looks like its leaking from somewhere ....

so all in all yes i am happy with the chip you supplied ... and marks setting up ..

just want to wind the turbo up a bit more now ... but guess im on the limit of me greens

so its either full autronic ..
or stu's closed loop and greys decisions decisions
