no mate. I had it on my s2. SCC performance told me to do it and result was amazing. They said they do it to every car they fit the kit too. I'm not gonna lie to you though. You do notice bit more fuel consumption - but then maybe thats because you put your foot down more to get bigger flames lol

I didnt notice it straight away. Had bout week then it started working but then i was told the older the plug the better the flame.

ok mate. i got confused too.

I take it you got the turbo?????

basically next to the top of the inlet pipe is your tps (little black box with a connector on bottom). It has 2 screws (one either side). Loosen these, there is no need to remove them. Once you have loosened them I'm pretty sure you turn away from you so towards your windscreen. It will pivot on those 2 screws.

Cant remember what way you turn but you will not do any damage either way. its trial and error. Im pretty sure you put it back not forward so that it clicks or doesnt click. Once you have done that just tighten screws again.

Also make sure engine is warm because flames aren't very likely on cold engine and also doesn't flame very well on idle. You will notice late at nite when you drop a gear. I had flames climbing up my spoiler. could see them through rear window, LOL

So if it dummy guide but didnt know if you would know what bits were, no offence

i will see if i can find my email from scc. hope this helps

have you got a new spark plug in there. It took mine a couple of weeks to start working properly.

I found it was best when you were in top end of third gear then let of the accelerator

no it will still only go on one way. maybe it is broke. I have a spare one though. I will check it see how much they turn

Will only go on one way because the connection inside is kind of like a rainbow shape with a flat bottom.
