obn topic, i am running the stock BOVs, with PFC, and a safe tune on it. mine backfires quite a bit. it even throws flames sometimes at high rpm. i believe it is quite safe, it is just running a tiny bit rich.

personally I like a good backfire on a gearchange or decel but " hey" thats just me :yes:

If you find it a problem there are a couple of things you can change on your PFC settings to remove or lessen the effect.

Firstly your accel pump settings are set quite high from factory with the PFC. So any slight blip on the throttle pumps in a fuel but little air. This hits the hot exhaust with the usual pop pop crack sound. You can even "make" it do it on a trailing throttle by tapping the throttle lightly on decel.

Dropping these accel back from the 4 or 5 ms factory down to 2 or 3ms improves things.

Secondly the bottom fuel row settings have a big effect on trailing throttle overrun and can by reduced (carefully) to reduce exhaust popping. The PFC does have fuel cut on overrun I know but these bottom row settings do have an effect.

Cheers,

Mike

      This may not cheer you up too much, but it really doesn't take much contact to crumple it back like that, and while any pre purchase inspection should have warned you it won't really change how the car feels as long as the panel mounting points are in the right spots so it looks right externally.  I would clean up and repaint the rust spots though

      I decided my first mod would be a FMIC for it to gulp in some chilled air: When I removed the bumper to make a start on fitting it, that’s when it started to reveal its past to me. One very nasty looking buckled inner wing… …and a not so happy looking front panel and crossmember 😫

      It didn’t look too bad, it was more what I found underneath when the modification itch started. It had clearly been used as a previous track weapon and suffered quite a smash to the front end.

      That's completely fair. What are you playing these days?
