Adam W Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 The only thing you're missing is a fuel cut defender (FCD). TRL Pete sells the best ones, someone will furnish you with his details before long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Pete's web page is at www.trlperformance.com. You should also get a boost gauge to check you're not overboosting, preferably one with a warning / peak hold. I use a Blitz turbo timer for this - it has a built in boost gauge with warning and peak hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCresswell Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 Ah £95 quid, Can i fit it myself or is it something that needs a Pro, also what dose it do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Normally, if the ECU sees boost of more than 15psi (11 is stock) it assumes something is wrong and shuts down the engine until boost drops again, by cutting off fuel. This is fairly dramatic, and lights up lots of warning lights! Pete's gizmo raises the level from 15psi to around 18psi (it's adjustable), which is generally seen as the highest level you should run without fueling mods. Other makes tend to completely remove the cut, which can be dangerous if you overboost drastically, as the engine will run lean and lunch itself. There's some more info on Petes website. Fitting involves cutting a wire going to the ECU and soldering the unit in between, and splicing it into a power wire. It's pretty easy as long as you're confident soldering wires with not much slack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCresswell Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 MM me thinks ill let someone else do it!!!, So its an overboost chip then, ok!, anything else, I saw the turbo timer but is it neccesary? I thought they only kept the car running when you switched it off, so as not too F^&K up your turbos, Will i need to set a max boost!, ..... will it really boost that high on stock turbos and the mods im making! but if needs must then I guess ill get one! is HKS the best?

Andrew Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Originally posted by JCresswell MM me thinks ill let someone else do it!!! It's easier than you think As for turbo timer try the Blitz dual TT it also has a boost gauge which you will need if you don't already have one.

JCresswell Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yeah but i wouldnt know where to start, I think i might let the pros do it, maybe leon!, any idea how much the HKS dual Turbo Timer/Boost gauge is? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 The HKS doesn't have a boost gauge, it's the Blitz that does and that'll set you back £100-117. These are even easier to fit than the FFCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a turbo timer as such, but I like the Blitz one because it measures boost too. You could just get a normal boost gauge and put it where the clock is, or in the eyeball-style air vent. That's what most people seem to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
