What have you done to your car today?

Had a busy day with help from john at NS Spec we installed a new race seat, 6 point harness, moved battery to rear of passenger seat, fit a isolator switch on the outside of the car at the rear, removed the factory fuel tank, made and fit two more loops for the drive shaft, made and fit a scatter shield, made and fit drip tray........ and now all i need is to add a bit more to my roll cage to turn it from half to full cage and she should be ready for a tech inspection some time next week before Nigh wars

If you have an AFM then it will become a post-afm leak, therefore will fck up the metering/fuelling the same as a half popped off intercooler hose. Having the recirc hose on negates this problem.

IF the car is MAP sensored then it gives air a slightly easier path to travel, bypassing the turbo off boost - it might save a tiny bit of gas (doubt enough to notice though). MAP sensoring (i.e a/m ecu) only sees manifold pressure, you can have all the leaks you want before the TB and it won\'t matter a bit to the ECU (well, it won\'t know about it anyway)

Im staying in waitarere beach till tomorrow, you can borrow my v7 sti valve or my adaptor plate on your tmic then you can use a stock one. (Got my spare bov with me)

or search nasioc on modding the bov with a grub screw to stop the pressure getting to the other side of the diafram

Thanks for the offer but I have paid for a cheapo aftermarket to get it running for a warrant.

I think I will will recirc the stock one before my tune tbh, I just want to have it running next week so I can warrant it and drive it for the other few small jobs I need done and the Atmo venting one should do the job for a few weeks,

I have had to stop here as im moveing tomorrow so still need to tidy up wireing and put an exturnal wastegate on it. also will need to chop out the underside of the bonnet so i can close it and will replace the blue bends with black ( only brought as they didnt have black and i was in a rush :-X :-X :-X

If your looking to do this its rather easy and just requires time and skills on a welder or a friend :P ;D ;) ;)

got flywheel on, then clutch... couldn\'t line up the gearbox properly, so did what I knew I shouldn\'t and used the top bolts

to pull it up... it did ping into place... but think I might have damaged the spigot bearing... so took gearbox off... then clutch,

then flywheel, replaced spigot, put flywheel and clutch back on. what a douche.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
