Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.

Well got an hour on the car today and noticed my boot floor was wet. Pulled out the liner and went to work on finding the leak. Ran a hose over the car until I saw drips. Ended up being one of the spoiler holes. So I got to work removing the plastic spoiler (all 3 parts) https://i.imgur.com/1W6Dixs....

Re: JDM Import Rev 2 Turbo - Megasquirt install. Anti lag. 2 step.

You can take signal right from the dizzy for COP. That's how mine is set up. The issues I've have with coils/igniters/dizzys and ignition leads in the past I was certain I wanted to make the change. Not a big job at all but as you said not necessary until silly power. ahh ok, i figured most people ...

There wasn't at the time. The fault ended up being a mixture of leaky ECU caps and a rusty fuel tank.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Catch can/breather

I ditched the pcv on mine, blanked off the hole in the intake mani and ran both cam cover lines to a catch can. Catch can is vented currently but means there's always a fine oily residue around that part of the engine bay. Either need to baffle the can better or run a drain to the block like the oe...
