Vturbo Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 So I have pretty much stripped all of the engine to swap the bits over while the engine is on the stand. Also disconnected the loom and drained the fluids ready for when the engine comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vturbo Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Ain't done much this last couple of weeks. relationship breakups and all that...sort of lost interest..but I'm trying to get motivated to finish the fucking thing. In the meantime picked up one of these to make me feel better.Innovate wideband and boost controller in one unit. Got it second hand never used at a good price. Also received my snap off boss from jdm-ep so that all needs to go on...hopefully Gona try and motivate myself to do the engine swap in a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimD Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The wideband looks a proper piece of kit, RPM based boost control which can be configured via software, ace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
