I've got Stage 1&2 software, but the charger came from an OBD2 car so the software's different so i'm led to believe.Hopefully enlisting Tommy's spanner skills at some stage, but by all means come up when we do it.

dubloke 4 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 i take it this kit you've bought isnt new, or is it? or as new, so to speak! how much have you paid in total for it mark and you reckon its going to be easy enough to fit and drive without being mapped after?

There's a few things i've got to overcome because it's originally from an OBD2, like relocation of the MAF etc....but nothing too major.Apparantly it should be fine to drive as long is i don't go above 4000rpm where it starts to boost. Luckily it's only 20 miles odd to where i'm having the mapping done. Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 has it got an oil reservoir or is it just a zr1 (ceramic bearings, no oil lubrication) with cogged pullies? Link to post Share on other sites
