I think it may of already been mapped, I need to get it on a dyno,

It boosts at 1.5 bar according to my depo, I don't know if this is the norm for the mr ?

 

[Billy MR]

You do know regardless of the boost and engine builds that silver is the fastest colour! WELCOME

Love the wheels on yours billy, looks the dogs nuts matey

no I don't think so, its a 320 yea ?

 

[Craigb350]

It's a Fq 320 yeap

Well if your depo gauge is right then you should find your driving 350 bhp ish

I was looking into TRL mapping it which he said he should be able to get 400/400, what sort of boost do you run then as 1.5 bar is quite a lot of pressure is it not?

What do the MR's run as standard?

I have hit the fuel cut a couple of times with the colder air.

 

[B6lee]

If your hitting fuel cut then my guess is it hasn't been mapped and someone has fiddled with the boost with a manual or electric controller ??
You need that sorting ASAP while you still have an en engine. Not that I'm so sure trl's work will do it any favours though eh lol

As far as i can see there isnt any type of manual or electric boost controller on the car, so i dont know how they have adjusted the boost, if they have.

I dont know of any other remapping places in or near yorkshire.

The standard boost solenoid is a red/brown colour and is mounted on the near side chassis leg under the air box/filter. Just see if it's been changed. Should have 2 small rubber vac pipes coming off it

 

[Craigb350]

I will have a look and get a photo, cheers matey

Where do the vaccuum pipes go from the solenoid?

 

[Craigb350]

Had a look now and i would say the plug is brown...

:shock:Guy's please ignore Billy's comment above about the fastest colour! He's clearly been drinking heavily and highly intoxicated with drugs!:whistling::razz::angel:

 

[Craigb350]

Haha
