Unless it's hitting boost cut about 4000rpm ?Regarding hitting boost cut with the 4" dump fitted, shouldn't the actuator still open the wastegate at the same pressure as before? I wouldn't have thought there would be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second just said I can get the SCT4 flasher and do the tune. I'm guessing the SCT4 is a definite requirement and the x3 wouldn't do? Also, is there different versions, or they're all the same. If so I guess I could get one from the US on ebay? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261827668894 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
