Re: MOT FAIL on emissions

So what did mine blow with a new turbo fitted and fuse in ?


It had previously failed at 1.98 with ' the fuse ' pulled as it was visably in trouble and on the back foot against the 0.6 plate value .

Fuse 31 15A controls cruise and reversing lights , even though you might not have cruise the software is there hense retrofitting , obviously controls some fueling . Reversing lights isn't tested on a sub 2009 car . So going forward cheaply at your disposal boost leaks and turbo exhaust seal aside t...

Replace the bearing shells ASAP the upper ones have a nasty habit of wearing through and spot welding to the crank and kicking a leg out of bed .

Re: Anyone else fitted a pedal box?

I completely echo your experience with a Sprint Booster on the Merc and it had more of a difference than the remapping despite gaining 120 Nm .

I'm on max setting Race ( red ) #9 .

It has a detachable miniscule controller and a few more tricks up it's sleave .

Re: Turbo Upgrade Options

I think FMIC only really comes into play with prolonged WOT openings to keep intake and EGT's temps down like when on track , a quick squirt to overtake 5 cars isn't going to come into play much .

Best man for this is Mr KA , B8 , TT .
