[Mk2] [Turbo] Headlamp Flash

If I have my side lights on and I flash a driver at a junction and my headlamps were down they pop up and stay up.

Is there a way to get them to go down without turning off all my lights completely?

Re: Intermittent starting problem

Mate the only time mine doesnt fire is when the starter seizes.

If it happens again and you can bump start it then its time for a new starter.

If you cant bump start it you know its immobiliser.

Re: Tuning Greddy Profec B Spec 2

jim speaks the truth, however (no offence intended) it sounds like you're not sure of how it works or what the changes you're making are doing. I'd A) turn it off completely, read the manual, use google to find out how it works, what the settings do and how it will effect the car then set everythin...

Re: Tuning Greddy Profec B Spec 2

standard the wastegate is set to open around 7psi. the stock boost controller, or your one is used to fool this by bleeding off some air so its requires more boost to open it. i would put every setting to 0. or better yet even turn it off and see what boost your getting in 3rd gear from 2k-7k rpm. ...

Re: Tuning Greddy Profec B Spec 2

Big thanks for the settings :thumleft:

But if I floor it the thing holds boost to 15+ psi??

It only opens the wastegate if I hold the accelerator at part throttle?

Id have thought Id hit 10-12psi then the wastgate would open or is that not how it works?

Re: Tuning Greddy Profec B Spec 2

What are your settings? The manual is available on the greddy website btw, with thorough instructions how to set it up. Didn't know Greddy had instructions online. Will get a look. Settings on Low are PSI Vacuum - -97 Gain - 5% Set Gain - 75(no idea what this is) Warning - 95(no idea what this is) ...

Re: Rev1 Turbo

Fair enough, was sure I've read posts saying the ECU will run rich on lower octane fuels to safe guard the engine.

Gd to clear that up.

Re: Rev1 Turbo

Not at all, that's fair enough mate. End of the day I'm still learning whats ideal with these cars and it's been a steep learning curve but I'm up for it :thumleft: It's brilliant at 1.1bar but I've found pro spec tuning guides so Ill get it sorted. Another question I had was, if the Rev1 ECU strugg...

Re: Rev1 Turbo

Ah, ok. I've not changed any settings since I bought the car. You think I should turn it down till I get it set up by someone I know? Personally my settings for your mods would be 0.8 bar low and 0.95 high .. these are relatively safe settings and what i run my st205 gt4 on now , till i beef up my ...

Re: Rev1 Turbo

I've turned it down for now.

It feels so slow :cry:

I'm keen to build a stronger engine and get a an lsd Rev3 gearbox at a later stage but as it's my main car I'll ease of till I'm closer to building a replacement engine.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Would still like to know why 1.1bars too high for a daily driver?

Re: Rev1 Turbo

Guys my boost controller allows me to hit 1.1/1.2bar on the low setting. Is this ok on a Rev1? Ive no way of knowing if clutch or Pistons have been upgraded by the last owner. This is far to much for a daily driver . Just pull the hose and cap it off to the tvis.. leaves it open :thumleft: The vsv ...
