In neutral 4000rpm cut out.Needless to say I loaded all the other maps and the same thing happened at 4000rpm...weird. Haven't yet loaded the factory tune back in to check that though. I have spoken the workshop that sold me the box and it will be sorted out first thing, but I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this??Tunes 2 and 3 were different below the 4000rpm limit so I suggest something has been loaded....Cheers Benp.s. got my turbs 3 weeks ago and loving it!! I'll get a custom tune shortly...I know I know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 27d Posted 27/07/06 01:18 PM Share Posted 27/07/06 01:18 PM depends if its boost cut causeing it, now as I dont have a boost guage in my car I cant tell you if the car is making enough boost in neatural to cause it to do so, my previous car could make 10psi in neatural so before all you doubters out there take apart my statement, think again. So without knowing how much boost you can make in neatrual I cant really say. Where did you get your flash tuner from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted them and they were very sorry and said it would be fixed first thing in morning when I drop it back. So I am not angry or anything, just curious as to why this would happen.

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 27d Posted 27/07/06 01:34 PM Share Posted 27/07/06 01:34 PM to be honest dude I did the typhoon CAI, I dont think it did sh*t, car drinks more fuel according to the DTE and car doesnt feel as strong in the top end as it once did, perhaps im just getting used to it, and since installing it my right foot went to the floor more often. Hope you get some good results outta it, but wont be nothing like wat the edit does for the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
