I was really hoping to miss out on the dreaded valve float but its reared its ugly head loleasy fix im not tooo fussed..The single pegger is probably going to be a bigger problem for now anyways even if I had the added power..The TruTrak will sort that out shortly though and all will be well..As said its predominantly a daily so the drive-ability and reliability are the most important aspects of the tune..Its very close to the stock tune I must say so happy there definately.. and the lag is minimal stepping up to the MTA750 from the stocker which was also a must have.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again mate I don't mean to be rude but I'm just interested in how it feels for you versus the hype around that turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was happening if he raised the boost more? Mine on 98 makes 351rwkw with billet wheeled gt3540Joe tried to get more but he turned up the boost by 2 more psi it started to ping Shoot me a pm If you wanna talk about it privately mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
