Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev 2 overbooting

it was a second hand one i bought off ebay. i think its a xs power one altho there is no markings on it.

skywalker; i have a manual boost controller and had planned on fitting that and disabling the vsv. was going to remove the ball and spring to run it on actuator pressure.

thanks

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fuel Cut Defender recomendation please

its that simple, pull back the carpet in the boot to reveal ECU.take the middle block connecter out of the ecu find the pim wire think its blue wire with black line then connect fcd to it. the instructions TB gives with it are very simple to follow.
