ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 10/07/04 07:59 AM Share Posted 10/07/04 07:59 AM As some of you may know, my car has been feeling gutless and surging. I took it into ford service and gapped the plugs to 0.9mm and the difference is worth the effort. The car is now much smoother and the power is much better. I also fitted an Apexi EL2 boost gauge into a chiptorque dual gauge pod. IT LOOKS AWSOME It is much more accuratreThe car boosts to 0.7 Bar then backs off to 0.4, but I have not had a chance to fully test it, due tot he rain in Sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaded Member 77 Member For: 20y 10m 17d Location: sydney Posted 10/07/04 11:04 AM Share Posted 10/07/04 11:04 AM My question is a bit off the topic. I noticed on the first pic your radio display panel shows temperature and range etc. I have the premium sound and have never seen that display on my car. Can you please explain? By the way I love the gauge.Thanks,Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm this as being true as I have been speaking with a Mechanic who works in a Ford service department & he told me this is in the latest service bulletin update.
