Postby jon_viola » Thu Nov 27, 2008 2:27 pm

As some of you know mine went at Bruntingthorpe, i ordered it's replacement from the guy in France who made my plenum hoses. Samco c £250 mine 85Euro plus postage. If anyone wants his details just ask. (From memory the plenum hoses were about the same again)

Hi Jon,

Have you managed to test the ecu with full boost wound up yet?

Please let me know how you get on :)

Not had it on the open road with the hose to test out the boost yet, but certainly seems to go pretty well, with boost all the way to 14psi, on the Bromley Rd anyway :lol: :lol:

Finally got out for a blast today with the new hose. Mine must have been truly feked cause i had to turn the boost down a lot! It was peaking at almost 19 and holding at 17 having been set at 16/14 before. Car didn't like the boost that high stuttered and backfired but much happier now. It still needs another good blast though as i've neglecting to drive it for a few weeks and you really notice the difference- by the end it was just beginning to loosen up again and pull like she used to....
