  1. the is too much air going into the turbo and it cant cope with it, so you need to either increase the wastegate size, or restrict the air going in. So either port the wastegate/go external gate or put the efi pipe and air filter back on and that should help. The colder denser air will make it spike more, so i would also suggest turning the boost down for the colder days
  2. love the screamer/recirc feature on this!
  3. Hit and miss whether you get stung for import tax etc, if you do it's cheaper to get a unit from a trader in the UK - plus usually quicker! If you were a good person in a previous life then it will skip through customs unnoticed and you'll get a bargain. Only way of telling the fake to real units is stripping them down checking the springs and the castings on the inside.
  4. Yeah japfest at coombe has sold out pretty quick this year - similar to like it did last year has to be early. Luckily ive bought some just after it went on sale,and you can always pick some up on the day - just got to ask around. My only concern with the open pitlane at JF2 is that you are going to have a lot of mixed abilities on track, up to 40 cars, and some people with no idea to call it time after 20mins when they start to suffer brake fade and as a result casue an accident! As for sound checks, coombe is pretty strict at 100db static - however they dont have any drive by checks. W
  5. Autodel - hes the guy that tuning developments use - very competitive http://www.autodelrecovery.co.uk/

  7. all depends on make of them and whos a dealer for them
  8. nice glanza by the way they are FTO seats not GTO
  9. another way is to get the paint of your car on some cotton buds and then wet sand it back and polish it up.
  10. nice heres the model of gopros HD Hero HD Hero 2 Hero 3 - White Hero 3 - Silver (similar spec as hero 2) Hero 3 - Black you have then got motorsport, surf, naked etc - these are the names of the kit which relates to application as you get the relevant mounts with them
  11. Tuning Developments got one for sale - sure Mike will be open to a cash on collection offer
  12. Ct9 on standard internetals you dont need bigger injectors. Injectors supply fuel to the engine, you only need bigger injectors when looking at bigger turbos ie td04 - by all means you can buy injectors now, fit them and get them mapped for it - but they will offer no performance increase.
  13. Cool sounds like you have all supporting mods ready to go for a piggyback ecu - its just picking a tuner who you trust and knows what they are doing - so pick up the phone, do some research on the net and go from there. Also think about what you want in the future re the car - ie if you want to go forged/big turbo - is this ecu going to be good enoigh to support it etc? Any decent tuner should be asking you this anyway, and giving you their oppinon/advice as opposed to just selling you an ecu to get a sale.
  14. In an ideal world yes, depends on how healthy the motor is. However these guys wont go chasing numbers, they will map the car to get the most of the setup, but most importantly keeping it safe.

    PIPER 4E CAMS

    as above they are regrings, and will need shims making up to fit- ends up being a lengthy and costly process!
  16. the vast majority of owners take a trip to warrington to Tuning Developments - regardless of where they are in the UK! You will need a piggyback ecu as mentioned above - the emanage ecus have always been popular (EMB on offer at moment for £550 supplied fitted and mapped at TD). To get the most out of a remap as stated above you need some modifications - ie front mount intercooler, boost controller, exhaust, decat, manifold- if running a ct9 (standard turbo) then these with remap should get your around 185-195 depending on the health of your engine.
  17. Just to let you know the date for Japfest 2 is Sunday 7th July at Donnington again No ticket prices inc track time have been released yet.
  18. Some 00 grade wire wool and a decent metal polish ie autosol will work wonders
  19. Technically yes, but theres alot of places that have the software who arent dealers. Speak to Greg Gush at Protuner, hes mapped alot of HKS ecu's
  20. Ultra racing ones are dearer than the whiteline ones that's why TD have opted not to stock them, but I'm sure if you want the your over the whiteline they will gladly order you one in.
