  1. Most after market ones have the MAF mounting plate but you need a retune as the diameter of the pipe changes so the sensor is out. look at process west or any other big brand. They a re in the $500 range without adding on the retune. rhe factory box is actually really good and the scoop takes from the high air pressure point below the bonnet lip so is hard to beat.
  2. Any cheap Bluetooth one should work with android to read codes and live data. iPhones need the wifi ones they are still cheap compared to the tactrix tactrix can program the ecu as well. i got mine from jaycar at a high price just as I couldn't find my USB one and it was Sunday with check light on.
  3. @YoungOne that sucks. Its what got me but intercooler split and dripped on the Downpipe wrapping. @Loren I have the thick black coating and the factory heat shield on top so even without the undertray is should survive. I have before and after dyno runs and it took about 10 degrees out and afr was out by one down to 11.5:1 from just the coatings. it had wrap before that so it's well worth it.
  4. Repco head office had the big sheets like 600x600 on clearance for $79. i was going to use mine for headers but went ceramic coating instead. as for wrap I've only found it average at best and you have to get the paint spray sealer if you want it to last or it just soaks up water and rust everything. It is fun driving around for about 30 mins with clouds of smoke billowing out from the hood while it bakes on.
  5. That gearbox fluid is priced like gold and takes a lot to fill up.
  6. What @Andy_Mac said ecu reset suggest electrical could be faulty sensor or wiring where reset enables it in ecu again or resets error count. you need to log data to see what the difference is. also check before you start engine the check light comes on then goes out. I've had a car where the charge light bulb died so it had faults but I had not idea
  7. What else is there it's just trim level, so seats and rims. Likely has audio and cruise control as well.
  8. You'd still need the ecu code to use the sensors so may need to swap Ecu and other bits. did you get the service manuals @Andy_Mac posted and check pin out? Most cars have "oil pressure sensor" its what triggers the dash light so more switch than sensor. euctek should be able to tell you if the code is there in the newer ecus. Ive wired things to the auto trains ecu pins on other cars but with newer can bus you likely need a signal not switching to ground. could wire the sensor low output to open circuit another key sensor to trigger limp mode. Or get really crazy and wire it to the start button to kill the engine.
  9. Brought it presents from @Niran jumpstarted some stranded lady's Toyota while waiting for burger fuel
  10. Just get the process west one I haven't even fitted mine yet but the fins are packed in there and the finish is next level. plus it weights a ton so built tough.
  11. Top mount as it'll work for now without cert issues. Still really want front mount though. That was to big for plane. have 4 port solenoid and dual port Wastegate turn up to see how far I can push the stock turbo. should have new suspension on the way next week. Just OEM replacement type but shortened Tomorrow may try the swapping of the vacuum pipe of BOV and fuel reg you suggested.
  12. Got sent to Australia for a half day event, got bored in the afternoon so went and got a process west intercooler to fill in the time
  13. Pretty sure health and safety and local bylaws will F*** you being its flammable. zoning of the property will likely be the first issue unless you are on a lifestyle block.
  14. Hmm photoshopped maybe. @boon so good... Tldr "it's all F***ed, enjoy it while you can" In Auckland 98 is the same as it was in 2005 when I filled up last week. have you thought about the price difference is based on yearly profit. Say each station owner want 1 million dollars profit. to get that in auckland you'll have more people paying so need less margin, in the middle of nowhere the price is way higher but less people both make the same overall. Now take prices from the post @Niran made on price breakdown, what are we missing the fuel cost is already contains a huge amount of profit to say BP since they own all the BP connects (go are privately owned) they then make the listed profit as well so they make about a $1 or 50% profit not the margin only. Yeah you got suckered and distracted So why the Blah blah blame government taxes? It all gets worse as the flow on effect is that if more people move to public transport (blah blah not here yet whining) the fuel price will start to go up even further to maintain profit levels.
  15. With @Loren MAF is likely having issues. if the car doesn't have a custom tune then swap it out. If it's been tuned then swapping the MAF is a little risky as it will have less safety margin. handbrake while driving maybe the answer to code 52.
  16. Lol I just figured it was a bot adding a link to a virus or ransom ware thing to the most popular topic and reported the post. figured a mod would remove the link and see if they person reposted it with some explanation. Dont click the link...
  17. Quick @RaKid submit this one... @RAYDEO if you want any of the older rally and WRC ones let me know i'll have a hi res copy. Yeah and an excuse to go get more.
  18. do you have a report from them and a list of what the service includes if they do a lot of PPI's they should have something that says what it includes, like those WOF tick sheets? sounds reasonable that a visual inspection would have been done. Though some write "wear and tear consistent with age" which is what I had from AA before. citizens advice have free lawyers that will give it you 30 minutes but will take a bit to get an appointment. for that I'd grab a bunch of other companies PPI sample reports or lists of what they cover to see if there is a de facto standard. could try the parent company or file a written complaint not just over the phone where it is easy to dismiss.
  19. 23 maf 32 o2 sensor 52 parking brake or brake fluid level sensor o2 shouldn't cause a MAF issue. maf issue can cause o2 error reading to rich or lean etc, so start with MAF and depending on filter it could have stuffed the MAF. Is the intake piping all in good condition with all clamps tight and no leaks? For 52 check brake fluid is topped up or the handbrake switch isn't getting worn and sensitive.
  20. I picked up a new set of the older version of these for cheaper than the retainers alone. little less spring weight at 1" height 160 not 170 lbs but otherwise the same.
  21. TM = Troll Market Wait until you get the buyers who then turn around and try to renegotiate the price after winning.
  22. Target Castor on sti is 6.25 +-0.45 according to the sheet I have from last alignment.
  23. Though MCA blues are pretty cheap but use their "basic valuing" inside. why wouldn't the company's buy from the same place for the alloy bits. Not like there's much gains in designing the basic tubes and mounts for hundreds of models. all the bits inside and the fluids are the costly R&D parts that do the actual damping. mca look Ike all the same Design cases for all but gold so money is in valuing and tuning.
