Hit up A_J_T he’s somewhere down there and is pretty handy with that TT>ST stuff. I borrowed his tactrix a few months back but not sure if he’s still active on here though.
@Andy_Mac just make sure you put a thin line down and smear it out with your finger so when it clamps up you don' have excess spill out the sides. Silicone not good inside engines or turbos.
Hmm you have a big issue. @boon went through this iirc. The tgv section is mildly in the way. Looks like you'e going to be that C*** who left everything till the last minute and cancels their tune the day theyre booked for...
Lube the S*** of of the turbo inlet and hose then force it over. Clamp it as tight as you can. Get it tuned then fix it asap post tune. Then go back and get tune checked.
Corrected the first portion. The reason you can't use it is it knocks. It actually runs.
The wiring issue is due to the immobilizer iirc. It's simply cutting and switching a couple of wires to get it running. Pretty sure Nzdm vs jdm.
Point is stock heads worked just crank the boost to move the air.
Add all the power you want but running that sort of time you don't drop .5 second just because you have another 300hp. If the car setups not right or youre limited by h pattern etc etc time doesnt just fall away. Much the same as afp didn't run his car at full potential at wtac. Car had more in it but driver has to make peace with it to utilise it.
Any later model manifold with phase 2 injectors will be offset like the rev d one. Unless it's a v1/2 one with phase 2 injectors and rails. (But then it wouldn't really be a later one.)
