Thought you might like to know about our mishap today, after fitting a Pace FMIC and HKS EVC IV we had setup parameters and locked the unit.

Went out today, waited for temerature guages to stabalise and booted the car through our lanes. Arrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhh! 1.9bar showing, accelerating like a 747 with massive clutch slip then suddenly windscreen head head windscreen.

Realised something was drastically wrong with boost/controller.

On investigation found the "Dip Switch" on the rear of the unit was not right "home". (SW)

On locking the unit after setup you need to switch over the dip and then back again, obviously it had not clicked in.

We now know what a 400bhp scooby accelerates like

Those bent con-rods will lower your compression ratio to accomodate all that boost!!
