Not trying to offend, for once, but do you really think the ring is the place to be taking your 3 year old???? The ring is called the "Green Hell" for a reason, its fast, and dangerous, i'd not be taking my kids with me, if I had any.
Compound charging is the way forward, you can't argue with a reliable 170bhp, AND being a 1.4 it comes under the cheap tax bracket. Cant see it being too long before the tuners start pushing the power up well over 200bhp.
Cant be that, otherwise fuel wouldn't flow........if your SURE you have a spark and your SURE fuel is getting to the rail which is sounds like it is then it has to be the rail/injectors/injector loom/ecu. I think.
Yeah thats REALLY helpful I have a walbro fitted, i didn't need a remap. If you pull the fuel return line off are you getting fuel through??? Just because your not getting soot it doesnt mean there is no fuel. You have to ignite the fuel to get soot, and if you have no spark then you wont get soot......i feel your theory there is floored. Have you checked the plugs to see if there wet......or turned it over with the plugs out to make sure that your actually getting fuel in??? Could be a screwed ecu i suppose.
I'm looking at the S3 if i'm honest. Nothing else really interests me. I'm not after the top end power now that the charger gives, I think the midrange punch from a turbo is much more useful day to day, and I love the look of them!!!
