  1. Not necessarily. Thicker headgasket will lower the compression ratio, making the car less lively off boost, and will make less power. Imo the stock compression of the 4E engine is far too low as it is, some of the Evo guys are running 9:1 + ratio's and doing 35psi + of boost. It all depends on cylinder head and piston crown shape though.
  2. Would make sense to cover it by mileage rather than time. Like you Chris you may only cover 500 mile in 6 months lol.
  3. If you got warranty, why worry Get your moneys worth haha.
  4. No such thing as a sequential gearbox. You either have a synchro mesh gearbox, or dog engagement box either can have helical or spurred gears. A sequential shifter is just the shifter assembly, even with a synchro mesh engagement though you will still have to use the clutch going up and down gears (unless you heel and toe of course). With dog engagement you can shift up without using a clutch. You can use the Ikeya shifter from the Evo if you want a sequential shifter but is pointless imo.
  5. I got a full Apexi system from cat back if you fancy?
  6. The map sensor works out the pressure entering the cylinder along with the IAT sensor to work out the volume of air. The lambda measures oxygen content after combustion has taken place. So they do two different things at two ends.
  7. Ay thats wrong way round mate. The area of largest gap should be towards the front.
  8. Thats mega considering the DTA unit itself can be had £500ish.
  9. I would stay away from the Apexi tbh, very old, no safety features etc. Why not have a look round where you are to see what other tuners like to map? Might be the case of saving yourself a long journey (not taking anything away from TD) and still getting the same result. I don't know a lot about the Wolf but from what I've seen it's sensor/output control is very good. I wouldn't get too strung up on map resolution imo, lets be honest its a road car which is likely to spend most of its time below 5000rpm, roughly 10 map points (if using 500rpm increments). Therefore the top end can be
  10. I don't see the need as to why you want to do that? It's only a good feature to have if your creating too much torque lower down and over powering the friction the tyre can produce. With the turbo you got that won't be happening.
  11. PM sent Lew I know mate, I'm tempted to bung them up on ebay and split the rails but would rather see them stay together for another EP.
  12. You can if you have the harnesses mounted on a harness bar that runs across the b pillar. Tegiwa do one I believe
  13. The cambelt has nothing to do with if the engines interference or not. They are non-interference engines but it depends if the head has been skimmed before.
  14. I don't know tbh mate would have to email ARP and ask them. People have used them up to about 3 times but it's always best to measure them.
  15. Ideally you should be able to get away with it, but they should be measured for stretch.
