Its defo not locked, and by the sounds of it, its not a kaaz either. It must have had one at some point and its been removed.

I had a look at the EVC and it looks simple. I think ive worked it out but i dont fancy playing with it. When you turn it on at first, but no ignition, it shows 1.15 on the screen which must be the boost setting as its holding about 18psi.

Just out of curiosity, can you set mulitiple boost setting on it? Id like to put a low boost setting on, say 1 bar or less, a mid boost, currently 1.15bar, and maybe a high boost 1.3bar. I hear the engine could easy handle a bit extra boost but i want to be able to wind it down for reliability purposes.

Depending on how the car is mapped, if you run too little boost the car can overfuel on the lower setting as the map will normally only be set for the higher boost level.

On another note, Ive got that welded diff off my car now - pm me if interested as its on Ebay smile

Time will tell - never had a problem in the past.

Though at 1 bar - previous cars also havnt had the protection of lower compression with a thicker HG either think

The car had been running 1.2 bar with Shaun and the last owner and there where no signs of Det during the strip down - Im not gonna push my luck though wink

I would get it set up properly for your own peace of mind mate...also according to several tuners-standard injectors are out of puff at 1 Bar...

Nah, doesnt scrub.

Yeah, i dont intend to run the boost too low, or too high.

One thing i dont like about boost controllers is that it allows you to dial in more boost without adding more air. Its why i never fitted one to the escort. If you allow the full boost signal to get to the ecu, will it just kill the power as its not mapped to accept an 'overboost' situation and think something wrong, or will it try to compensate somehow? Im not going to be fiddling, just curious.

Ill pass on the welder cheers. Bit low on monies at the moment so im being carefull what i spend it on. It skids above my ability at the moment (probably always will) so until the VLSD is holding me back ill leave it as it is.

Hell yeah. Loving it to bits! Every opportunity to drive it and i do.

I normally keep the work van at home, but ive been keeping it in the garage lately so i can drive to work in the morning, THATS how much im enjoying it.

I agree. Those wheels look ok for skidding but not for outright wheels. Theres some AEZ 17's on ebay at the moment. Just want something cheap to get me going while i sort more important things out.

On that note, does anyone have / know of any cheap 15's i can buy for skidding?

Ive been trying to get on sxoc for a few days now. I can get on but i cant register. Noticed a few of you's are on there. Any ideas?
