Sorry - what do you mean by the Main Control Unit? Not the ECU, I ***ume?

That's the thing isn't it. Gain across the rev range is important. Peak power is only one small part of how an engine puts its power down. Low-down is just as key!

I'm about to plumb in a boost gauge, which has a feed to wire into the car's night-time dimmer function for the dash and other interior lights. Does anyone know what wire to tap for that on a 7th Gen Facelift CTDi? There must be one somewhere, as the dials dim when the lights go on. Whichever...

Have the XP laptop, just need the HDS I've ordered to arrive and I can see what's going on. Out of interest, where did you have to adjust your actuator to on yours Trevor, or have you not done it yet? As it's the same compressor wheel, it should be the same on mine, which should eliminate some...

It's the CG motorsports twin plate, which comes with a SMF.

The Civic EP3 wheels fit on an Accord - even with ATR front calipers, so I don't see why a set that fits your tourer shouldn't fit the next gen after that civic either.

Thanks Grzesiek! No - the PC filter was removed very quickly after I had it on - I shouldn't have oiled it, basically. Other than that it seems to behaving itself - certainly feels like the power's there, but I'm wary of the placebo effect! I've got a HDS system on the way and have re-built...

Well, pics were delayed slightly by the second-hand fuel pump dying on Monday, but after sourcing a reconditioned replacement and having it fitted today the car drives fine - seem to be having run of bad luck just now!! On other news, the MAP and MAF turned up today and have... made no...

It runs off the same actuator and the VNT vanes are not modified (as far as I believe, anyway). I've heard that a lot of *** VNT Hybrids have actuator related issues an they can be slightly moved out of alignment while being hybridised and need the rod length to be tweaked back to where the map...

That's really interesting - I was always under the impression the weights made a difference - useful to know that isn't the case! :)

Thanks Fahad - appreciated. On other news, I'm digging into getting a log session on HDS with someone who's got a set, although that might take a while to set up! Until then I finally managed to export some of the runs I did on Dashcommand. One with the Stage 3 once the leak was fixed and one...

I suspect there'd be interest ;), but not sure at what price. I'd only ship across something you were positive you were going to use.

I thought there were different part numbers: 08W60-SEF-600 Diesel Option - All models 08W60-SEA-600B Manual option - Type S 2.0/2.4 Ex 2.0/2.4 08W60-SEA-600C Auto Option - Type S 2.0 only, 2.0/2.4 Ex (taken from here...

The reason is that the Diesel engine is heavier than the Petrol, so the weight distribution across the car is different and the suspension needs to be adjusted to accommodate this (basically). I would imagine it's the same for Auto vs MT - different weight between the two types of G-Box. I...

Well, it's been a bit of a busy day. I won't bore you with the details of trying to work out why my new Galletto cable wasn't working, just to say that I found an old AV program that I thought was long gone was still sort of there and causing issues... Anyway. I now have a working Galletto...

Taken from the OBD port, so it's calculating it from MAP and a few other variables (IIRC). The pressure test kit that is arriving today will allow me to test the IC pipework (first candidate), and I have already checked the vacuum pipes that feed the VNT actuator, EVR etc (fine). The stock...

The ELM327 OBD2 reader arrived toady, so I got it connected to Dashcommand and went for a drive... MAF and MAP look fine (to me), which isn't too much of a surprise. Boost on the other hand... I feel a bit better now, as my Butt Dyno wasn't as off as I thought. The boost was fluctuating...

Well, it's food for thought. Currently mine appears to be working fine and I think my immediate problem is a boost leak, so until that's sorted I can't dig into anything else. All the other units manage to get to 22 ish psi, so right now my suspicions aren't on the turbo. As said, I'll...

I suspected you might say this Fahad - and I had sourced the Turbo prior to our chat, unfortunately! Did Elite say why they thought the Turbo might be doing that, if you're able to say? Just seems odd! I could understand if it was either not boosting, or over-boosting, due to a different...

To try and track this issue down I've knocked up a quick flow chart (no pun intended!) tracking what I think is all the possible areas that impact boost: (Note: I am not an Engineer, so this is Johnny, Age 5, level drawing ;) ) If there's any area or factor missing, please let me know, as...
