[Mk2] [Turbo] Should I Remove My EBC

Post by platmatt8 »

I’m looking at putting the car back to stock/OEM+ and I’m considering removing my Blitz EBC.

The reasons are although ive got a decat still fitted I’ve removed my exhaust and gone back to stock.

I’ve not driven the car in 4 years and forgot the settings and how to set it up.

I’m not a boy racer anymore.

Am I wrong?

Keep it, but set it up on a conservative setting on low (14-15psi), and ~17psi on high. Best of both worlds then.

Maybe, I used to hate it on a cold morning when it would hit the fuel cut even with a defender in there.

Electrical / electronic setup hasn’t been a strong point of mine :oops:

Alternatively just turn it down to 0 and it will function at your wastegate spring pressure and you just have a free boost gauge

I've just set up my Blitz Dual SBC again with some advice from Gazza - it was really a lot simpler than I thought!

This helped http://www.mediatects.de/files/Blitz_DUAL_SBC.pdf
