Waiting For Flash Box

[krooked]

I am currently waiting on my flash tuner with generics to arrive, so in the mean time I though I would prepare for it. So far I have gapped the plugs to 0.8 mm and fitted a lower temp high flow thermostat and cleaned the boost solenoid. Trans cooler will go on next week. Is there any thing else I should do except wait for the goodness to arrive??? I will be getting the AFRs checked the day it arrives to.

A good synth oil would be a good idea if you are not already running one.

Yeah oil change and filter, turbo filter screen and fuel filter would also be a good idea to. What sort of air filter you running? While your working on the car, when was the last time you cleaned the throttle body?

[Superdan]

yup, cleaning the TB and resetting the TPS (throttle position sensors {or similar} - foot to the floor on the loud pedal with the ignition off, turn engine over a few times, it will reset the TPS). maybe clean out the air filter if you're not replacing it

Running a K&N pod just under the pass side headlight. I haven`t cleaned the throttle body yet but will do tomorrow. Car only has 45k on the clock.

swoit, have you done the boost solenoid trick yet? that works a treat!

[krooked]

Yeah done that as soon as I found out about it, then done it to every other T I know in town.

k, I've gone over all of the piping that would be affected by the extra boost and tightened the clamps up. a lot of people need to change the clamps from the 'clamping' type to the screw type (mine have already been changed but, would be a good idea if you need to)

*running out of ideas...*

Annnnd? I bet it will be grubby! If its done that many ks id also be re-torquing the exhaust manifold bolts. Check for missing ones, also check for loose/missing dump pipe brace bolt.
