Hi,

Yet another question lol. I think i'm going to order a detalarm from roojai first of all. The wife would prob move out if i spend 700 quid on the power fc, so i think i might go with a dawes device for the time being until i can convince the wife lol.

So, where is the best place to get one? And, i have a 2 port boost solenoid on my MY98. How do i install the dawes device as most people have the 3 port one i believe??

Do i need to do anything else at all or simply a knock sensor and a dawes? What is the standard fuel cut set to? 18psi?

Cheers guys
Nicky

Edit: i've just noticed on the way home if i plant it in 3rd my boost hits 1.2 bar which is almost 18psi, is that normal?

 

I've just bought one from 3BarBoost in America, £20 delivered to my door! Does take 2 weeks to arrive though!

I believe you fit it between the turbo nipple (after the turbo, going to the IC) and the wastegate actuator!

ok thanks, might get one ordered for that price...

let us know how you get on fitting it! I assume you have to pull off the pipes from the oem boost solenoid and plug them??

 

Yeah, what ever pipes you pull off in order to fit the Dawes must be blocked. I'm going to use a couple of oversized bolts and block the pipes that way!

Nick

PS - I've fitted one before and they really are very easy to fit. It's the taking the car out and then adjusting it accordingly that takes the time up!

 

Nick.
I have a brand new one for sale, easy peay to fit, £20 Inc Postage & i'll provide instructions.
It's now surplus to requirements

Hi, thanks for the offer. I'm going to sort myself out with a knock link from roojai before i even think about buying one of these. I know what will happen if i dont, i will be needing a new engine!!!

cheers

 

No Problem.

In for Sale it Goes

So,

Can anyone please confirm what the standard MAP sensor on a 98 is set to for boost cut?

What are other people running boost wise on their cars that have a similar setup?

Also, i want some nice silicon vacuum tubing for installation when i get the dawes, does any one know what internal diameter i need? 3mm? 5mm? Its going very cheap on eBay so just need a diameter.

Full decat and panel filter....
Just ordered myself a detalarm from roojai...

The Map sensor on a 'facelift' can read a higher boost level than a pre-facelist car. I think it is around 1.5 bar from memory.

The fuel cut is set by your ecu.
