Awesome, thanking you very much for perfectly detailed reply, now to start removing redundant displays and declutter of dash area

Wondering if the brains trust can shed some light on where the ECU gets its signal to trigger the fuel cut at 180k? Does it originate from the dash cluster or from the ECU itself? Car in question is a series 2 Stagea and currently have a pivot speed meter installed, but have also fitted a Link Strada dash and Storm-X ECU which has rendered the speed readout on the pivot meter defunct and not displaying anything, so I dunno if the fuel cut bit is still functional until I either find a quiet road or get it on a Dyno, if it is not required anymore to provide fuel cut get-around I'll pull it out along with the also now redundant boost controller and sell them both. Hopefully someone can share the knowledge.....

Must have sorted something out cos got 14.2-14.3 on display

Ahhh righto, I've got no idea, when it comes to electrical stuff, me and wires have a toxic relationship,most times I let the smoke out of em.....so I leave that stuff to others. So I'm guessing that installer has that sorted, but if battery starts to die I'll see if they missed doin that.

What does this question mean?

Link dash display finally got fitted with a Mako Motorsports support panel

Cheers, will look into this

Honestly have no idea with anything that has wires cos I tend to let the smoke out of them, so I leave that stuff to others and stick to mechanical things that I can see what they do and how.....

When the car initially had the storm fitted it was still a standard transmission and that's how Danny from Springy Performance set it up, and sadly we couldn't get it to function properly before he passed away, so I had to choose to manualise the auto or install a clutched manual. Hopefully that makes sense to you, I have honestly no idea when it comes to tuning side of stuff because anything with wires hates me, so I stick to the mechanical side of stuff

I showed workshop fella your message and he would like some more information if possible, said something along the lines of running out of inputs to the dash and that the Jatco trans uses 7 wires for gear signals so don't have enough open/spare ports,for signalling. It's a series 2 stagea with manualised valve body trans from MV automatics ,running a nistuned factory ECU that's paired to a Link Storm 4x ECU and an Aim/Link dash display MXS Strada Street. If that's not enough info lemme know what else I can provide to assist.

Awesome I am hoping to get the car back today from the workshop,so I'll show them this message string and see what they have to say. Thanks for the reply and input 🙂

Yep there are 2 manual switches for 4th gear and lock up, so they're the easiest to solve I spose in comparison, just a bugger that the Link ecu and the Link dash can't bloody read the gear position by themselves, and seems that I'm always the damn guinea pig too, but that's my fault for wanting pretty /shiny things and jumping first....

Has anybody successfully worked out how to have an aftermarket gear position indicator for an auto in a stagea? With the Link dash installation almost complete were having issues getting the gear position to show on dash unit, as the factory dash uses 2 seperate signal types between the box and the ECU, as in it receives a square wave signal and transmits a sine wave or vice versa, so it's not reading and allowing the dash panel to show . It will also be making it potentially worse being that the trans is a manualised valve body and being Jatco 4th gear is electrically selected as well as the lock-up for converter, so they are switched seperate
