yeah has a boost port defo will look and see if got a green wire tommorro,

i have a seperate tank with a switch so shows when its low.
Yeah thats the DV-30 with build in MAP sensor(hence the boost port) you will not be able to use this controller to take a reading electronically from the cars MAP sensor as the build in sensor on the DV-30 is 3bar(or so DO told me), so the reading will be off, you will have to use the boost port and tap into the manifold/fpr or where ever you can get a reading from.This is the reason i when back to the Stage 2 2.5bar kit. You might want to confirm this with Bill or DO.

Also, even though the nozzle calculator says you need a D04 nozzle both RobDon and I found the engine would bog down and had to use the D03 nozzle.Now i am not sure how it will be with the hybrid as there is more flow but this was a problem with the Standard K04 on a stage 2.

It earths through the controller. Instead of having a switched live, the kit uses a switched earth, hence the fat earth cable coming from the controller. (If it is the same as my AEM kit that is!)

ICE Instal

Small update,

I had a Kenwood KVT-627 installed in my car, this stereo was great, but i never watched DVD's and the unit was way over my head/needs, i'm not big into my ICE, just want to listen to my IPOD and make/recieve calls.

I decided to uninstall this under utilised system and install a new Alpine CDE-113bt, the unit is super easy to use and the bluetooth works well with my Blackberry in addition the colors match the lighting perfectly, happy days.


This is the system i took out.

Just spoke with the Mechanic, the rods/turbo and manifold are in/on, he will be doing the timing belt tomorrow and the car should be ready for collection. :D:D

He also said my stock manifold had a small crack, nothing major, they all crack eventually.The turbo on other had was in good condition, but then again it only has 40k on it.

Hybrid, Manifold and rods fitted :)

What an evening, I just got back from picking up my car and all I can say is holy fu$k its awesome, as it stands it is completely uncivilised and just angry, I had a 50miles journey to collect it and i had to take it easy most of the way, on some of the slower roads my curiosity got the best of me and I gave the throttle a little blip here and there, i cannot believe how well this flows and how fast the spool is, its completely savage.

I will post pics of the stuff that was removed tomorrow but is in shockingly got condition, i guess it has only 40k on it.

Early start tomorrow, will be at the tuners all day to see what we can get out of here, if i have internet access i will post up power runs as we do them, it should be very very interested.

Well Done mate, hoping you get some great results. Now you can see there is a big difference between a stock k04 and a hybrid.:)
