veedubnutz 0 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Simple ish one to explain. From cold, my 12v turbo has always started off the key, run for about 5 secs then dies. Following this its a pig to restart... Pops and bangs till it finally goes. IT basically does it as the vr ecu retards the timing to warm the engine quicker. Any thoughts? The car is also flat as a fart on the throttle but may be unrelated. Link to post Share on other sites
