*** Update *** @sierrafery @resto_d1 @boguing Good News Gentlemen! Cold start this morning, drove smoothly with no bunny hopping. Gear changing and acceleration were flawless. Pulled like a train and when asked, she accelerated as expected (not a Golf GTI!). Pulled up the hill to the farm...

Wound in to 5 threads...no difference at all and no overboost or limp mode. I will say that is palpably worse when the MAF (yes MAF) is connected. When connected, bunny hops and drives rough.

Gotchya! Currently, on 14/15....I'll wind it in - fingers crossed!

I meant check the Wastegate until overboost etc...

Ok, I'll check the boost as soon as I can and update. Cheers!

Well thats good to hear! So you'd be happy with that log? Do I still need to check the boost or is that ok now too? To be honest its 100% better than when I bought it, something amongst the following changes had a positive effect: Injector Loom and Gasket MAP Sensor Fuel Filter Oil and Filter...

I had already sent my ECU to Empire Tuning after outlining the symptoms and what I was hoping for. He reported the changes he made were to: "Throttle Demand, AFR Limiter, Torque Limiter, Boost Limiter, PW Tables". This was inline with my request for a much less aggressive drive and to address...

Agghhh!!! I did of course mean MAF!! Sorry! I'll edit the post just in case someone takes it literally!

Hi, My 1999 TD5 110 came with a couple of Van Sides (I think thats what they're called) - see pic. Is fitting them a faff? I am just curious as if not too much of a PITA I might fit 'em to see how I feel? I have had a search but can't find anything. Cheers!

Not sure, I guess that contingent on the engine, weight etc...but at a guess not third!

I did think that, but then again, they won't always know what has been done prior to them getting theirs. I am thinking, as mine had been 'mapped' by the owner before the chap got it off (and he didn't know any details himself) that map might have been contributing to it not being close to my...

Stock Chip went in fine, result was a much less angry drive and although ZERO bunny hopping, there was a palpable difference in power going up hill. Though I'm not suggesting it was bad, just very different and needing to drop a gear into 2nd rather than powering up the hill in 3rd (also, bear...

Already checked and its good so far as I can see. One more question so I know I am testing the boost correctly, at what speed/rpm would I need to be before I can expect it to overboost? Would it overboost as relatively low speeds/rpm's? I live in a very rural area and opportunities to give her...

Thanks, would I need to make any other changes to Wastegate for example or just start her up and see?

Ah...there ya go, thanks - MAP sensor arriving today (apparently). One thing I meant to ask, the chaps who did the re-map had suggested trying a standard factory chip in the EU, which they are sending. The say the fitted a 'cage' so it will merely clip in. Do you think thats worth trying...

Ha! I have only known it as a 'Clutch Switch', not an anti surge circuit, oh well, one less thing to check!

Thanks, I'll put it in my list 👍

Thought as much! Just picked my boy from school up so recorded the following Nano Log with Wastegate turned in two threads - I've not had the chance to do this until it limps, then back a turn. Its on my list! I suspect the connection might need cleaning on the Nanocom plug in the vehicle as...

Ha! Makes sense!
