Gainzy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 A decent map and ebc makes the world of difference over a plug and play ecu and actuator. So think it will give you good results to be honest you seem to be doing it the right way long as your happy with the power and delivery that's all that matters.Yeah all good I wasn't going to bother with an ebc I was going to just use a 1 bar spring but my mate did that and still the result wasn't as good as it should of been even on ewg so an ebc is the way to go boost feels nice and smoother I still love the plug n plays though I missed out on a mine's one a while back those things will blow your car up haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K1 / EWG / EBC / EMB sorted lolThe guy was from Australia he wanted £275 for it I tried to pay for around 4 days then people clicked on and bids went up I was gutted to say the least! I can't sit back and let the TD04 take all the glory there is still more room for the ct9/hybrids haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manny01 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Looks like white smoke to me, only at idle. Otherwise it goes like stink! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manny01 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah, running water lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yeah, running water lines.Try disconnecting them, run a loop on the thermostat housing and see if the white smoke stops. The turbo could be burning water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
