cheekymonkey Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Today I picked up a "bargain" from a nice chap in Kent, who knew very little about what he had. As some of you may know it's a 1994 TT Auto, with a Motec M800 ECU. I've managed to figure out from the Dyno sheets that she's running a shade under 1.3 bar... and here's the fun part: - 1st cat still in place - NO boost gauge - NO AFR / EGT gauge - Standard (AFAIK) fuel pump - Probably standard j-spec turbos, but who knows? - Run on BP ultimate not V-power for last 10k miles or so Since this work was done in 2003 she's covered about 30k miles with no problems - but has been serviced religiously and I have all the paperwork to prove it. That said, she does drive really well, I get a small amount of black smoke on startup, but not while boosting. Got to start showing this car some love because she deserves it.

Gaz6002 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Whats wrong with the ultimate? Nothing as far as I'm concerned. Still, you got a bargain there by the looks of it. I wouldn't worry too much TBH, just make sure the car gets good treatment from here on in. The turbos might not last a million miles but then again, do they ever?! Just keep it in the same state of tune. The second you start changing or uprating parts is the second your bill goes sky high. I hope you listen to the voice of experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Are you opening a Supra sanctuary then? Not a bad idea, plenty of roads for them to graze on around here and lots of v-power to drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your egt's will be through the roof with 1.3bar and first cat still in place, I'd take the motec out and sell it, unless your going single, post up pics:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to remove the motec, revert the sequential system back to stock and tidy her up. Motec will either be sold on or saved for my car when I go big single one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The strongest bpu I have ever had was done on one cat, 1.2bar, fmic, ran sweet as a nut for many years. second one I had with no cat would not pull the skin of custard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
