all sorted. the new maf i got today is f***ed to say it nicely. been ripping my hair out wondering what i had done wrong. assoon as i disconnected the maf it was fine. put old one back on for min!

rhys if you need any blue hose i have some spare. probably about a meter and 3mm id

 

[rhysox]

thanks mate, that's really kind of you. not sure how much i'll need to do the bypass tho!

 

[mr_D]

well i can feel a bit of difference in the bypass. Wouldn't say it make's a massive difference. My dv has gone really quiet now though. Sounded much better before. Some things have to be sacrificed

 

[mr_D]

well if your leaving it all on top of the engine then what i have should be plenty. Depends how you have it. I have routed mine different to others and have still used the valves

 

[rhysox]

ok fair enough.. my dump valve is quiet with this n75j valve, and also i can no longer hear the spool when footing it on boost. but it's definitely quicker! so yes.. some things are sacrificed

 

[mr_D]

thats what mine is like. No more spool up and not only that it also sounds like it is on backwards. I know its not but it sounds completely different to what it used to. Some ppl seem to have been lucky and its louder. Probably because of the dv they use.

Jivey - Cheers for the coilpacks, identified the faulty one, the world famous, 4th pain in the arse one. Will drop them back to you soon, with a selection of Fox's Classic's that were owed!

Phil, where did you order your Coilpacks from? The boltdown ones for £17 each?
I think it was ECP?

 

[mr_D]

is it just me or do the none bolt down ones keep popping out?

 

[PhilW]

If the coilpacks pop out, cut slits in the rubber to stop them popping out.


Tom, yeah i got them from ECP, was a pain in the ass as they always ask for a reg plate.

 

[Forbez]

You dont have the part number by anychance? I have found two part numbers from ECP, so may just ring them up. I bet they dont do the bolts for bolting down though.

I got a load of stainless ones

 

[mr_D]

cut slits in what part. I dont like the sound of that!

 

[jivejester]

Take the coil pack out and there are some ribbed rubber fins at the top. Cut a v shaped grove in the fins, make sure they are in a line.

It allows the pressure out without popping the pack up and out.

[mr_D]

happy birthday phil.

Will give cutting the coil's a try later. Try and dry them off a bit first. Only just spotted the oil on the only that is popping out. Drying it might solve the issue

 

[Forbez]

The big 27 eh! Me too, it was at 27 i realised just how old i am!
