hendo Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Get it checked by one of the sponsors on the rollers, and then discuss the best options with them, that would be my choice bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendo Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Don't think it gets Plugged in rob on a service unless a fault is present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurn Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Get it checked by one of the sponsors on the rollers, and then discuss the best options with them, that would be my choice bud.couldnt have put it better myself...... as too much boost can make ya engine go pop if its not been properly set up for it!!!spending £40 is better then spending over £2k for a new engine.I know this might sound extreme, but its better to be safe then sorry!!

scatty Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 agree a full diagnostics should put you right.....id be getting it done sooner rather than later as gurn says...just lay off the right foot untill you do....better safe than sorry...might find its been mapped etc and theres nowt to worry about, altho i thought you would have known if a previous owner had done it...
