Any fault codes?

Don't forget it won't switch to high boost till the engine is warm.

I know my 2 wouldnt full boost until it was up to temp (normally half way mark or there about). Don't know much bout the gts tho.

I had my tvis and vsv disconnected but i had the electronics hooked up to leds on the dash to let me know if knock occurred and for when to use full boost. the led would come on for full boost after a few minutes.

I will get out later and have a poke around :thumleft:
