I assumed I needed to keep it REALLY low on revs till fuel maps are sorted. although it would be tempting to see what difference it makes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a boost gauge fitted keep an eye on boost levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it a bit and felt it was boosting much more than it use to. Then I got the 'engine check' light on the dash which I assume is an overboost error. Just dont drive it too hard on the way to the tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
