Re: Some Turbo power questions
I have a Rev1 running 1.1 bar.
Totaly standard apart from a SOLO turbo timer, APEX-i AVC-r Boost Controller, and a Trust turbo dial, i wanted to see what 1.4 Bar would be like, would it cause damage if i tryed it once?

Re: Car starts but dies after a few secs- Help+ advice needed!!
mine was doing this and i reset the ECU but it only worked for a few days, i have had it pass its MOT and part of the problem was the car stalling all the time, he replaced the earth strap and it fixed it strait away, BUT
£945 JUST to pass the MOT!!!!! and tax on top ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
