MY CAV 4x4
Re: MY CAV 4x4
So ECU fitting today, won't be needing any of this then
Much better
Boost pipes away for welding and forge BOV welded into hard pipe. New filter ordered as old one had MAF attached which is now no use with new ECU.

Re: MY CAV 4x4
im very sure it will be impressive!
Re: MY CAV 4x4
saw this in the flesh last week, totally stunning
Re: MY CAV 4x4
cheers guys its been a long process but nearly there.
story so far, nice figures on initial power run with low boost and high boost, low boost showing great power at only 0.7 bar which is great, and a good curve going all the way with more to play with as the limiting factor was the turbo which is maxed out! time to go bigger! torque holds nicely for a good 3.5k which will be nice for pulling like a train.
cat is now undergoing some cosmetic bits and bobs that i felt were needed now its running, and some wiring issues to tidy up things to suit my OCD.

Re: MY CAV 4x4
Yeah mate few cuts here and there but it's on haha. Push back on timings as body shop can't complete all the work until early November (going on holiday!) so in the meantime it's been getting some live mapping done on the road and is now performing even better than before! Had new facia parts for dash arrive to replace the old ones with holes in from previous switches and its looking rather smart again inside.
Have been doing some on road tweeks with the car and it is feeling even faster now, I had the mapping guy in the car who specialises in big power evos 500-600+ bhp driving them day in day out and he couldn't believe how fast the the car is!
Will get you out in car when you back you need to have a drive in it!
Regards
Mike
Pretty good feedback!

Re: MY CAV 4x4
finally got rid of the washer jets to give a nice flush front end now, had to have the wing cut and adjusted to accept the lights as it was fouling the new grille, so had this cut back also , just the bumper do to next and wheels and should be ready.
