on the bov? no

on the wastegate actuator, yes

[bigkevracer]

I've got the same one theo but my boost gauge doesnt go up high enough to measure properly.

Def didn't get any big increase in power when I fitted it, which I'd probably expect from an extra 4 psi.

[scotty nm35]

What are you using to measure the boost increase? The BOV should make no difference to the boost, thats the wastegate's job. List your mods again?

i have an Auto meter Sport compact II boost gauge. i was sitting on 16PSI last time i checked now im at 19PSI (its still not mounted on the dash so its hidden under the seat atm LOL)

Power duct with BNC filter.

Scotty's Dump pipe, Full 3" exhaust.

Intake spacer and HDi FMIC.

Maybe the old BOV was leaking a couple of psi of boost???? Is that possible?

[WAGON_BOY]

i guess the next thing would be to check and make sure i havent got a leak or blockage in the wastegate vacuum line...............

[zei20l]

yup, check the vacuum hose going to the wastegate actuator

[WAGON_BOY]

yeah found the broken vacuum hose to the wastegate!!!!!

at WSID tonight

first run was a 14.469 @ 161.74.............. (19PSI)

second run i farked up 14.995 @ 153.82/......... (19PSI)

3rd: 14.325 @ 159.34 .................. (16PSI)

4th: 14.373 @ 156.08 ..............(16PSI and quite windy)

and last run was the best with a 14.149 @ 157.89 .............(16PSI and quite windy)

so im happy with that, was guessing between a 14.0 and 14.6

[zei20l]

and how many boosts are you running with the correct actuator plumbing??

[bigkevracer]

Do you mean how much boost? He said 16PSI. Not bad.

[scotty nm35]

Goes to show what the factory ecu does when overboosting, it floods the fuel in making you slower.

[zei20l]

lol i skimmed that post as usual.

scott, almost makes it not worthwhile turning up the boost as it just throws fuel at it

[bigkevracer]

unless you can tune around it I guess. No point if you're running the stock ECU.

[zei20l]

should buy my emanage that im selling

[iamhe77]

should buy my emanage that im selling

lol... shameless plug Iain?

*stated whilst looking at my sig

[Jetwreck]

^^^^^^^

hell yeah it was lol

the emanage is cheaper and a proven product

[WAGON_BOY]

yeah i need an piggyback ECU ............. which one is the go ???

[bigkevracer]

I'll know as soon as I get my Fcon V Pro tuned. But with everything sitting in front of me I have no reason to doubt it wouldn't be the best solution. It is more expensive than the Emanage though.

iamhe77 is currently selling an Fcon V Pro with software and accessories (which you need) and Jetwreck is currently selling the plug and play NM35 harness (which is discontinued). The plug and play harness is great. Emanage requires you to spider the harness to all the necessary inputs.

Only optional items are additional sensors, which I've picked up. I'm just waiting to install everything I've got sitting here, then buy some injectors, then go and get a tune.

The Fcon V-Pro is the one you want... the only reason I am selling mine is because of a lack of harness for the PNM35 (HKS tell me that the Z33 harness will not be suitable ).

It is a standalone ECU, but in the VQ25det it is in piggyback "format". Basically instead of adding/subtracting x values on top of what the OEM ECU does, it sends it's own values based on your tune... totally ignoring the variations that the OEM ECU sends to the engine.

It, unlike the eManage, removed the speed limiter and can (as I have stated before) change how the throttle reacts.

Only thing it can't do is manipulate the cams, but as Scotty may attest, neither can the eManage/Vmanage combo unfortunately.
