oh ok, sounds same as mine! not sure why its cutting though, will fit chips to see what happens

Before you wind up the boost check your plugs for tell-tale signs of running rich/lean etc plus check the gaps.

What fuel pressure are you currently set to?

dearing5 · 01-10-2008, 11:36

3bar or just over

checked and cleaned plugs, looked fine to me. gaps are 0.6mm tried other gaps never works lol.

although i cleaned plugs and ht leads etc it drives a lot better and it don't cut out till like 5k now

how do you play about with the boost on a std let with ph2 chips? on the actuator?

Yes but but its not advisable without a decent FMIC and correct fueling. P2 Chips work in conjunction with other components. They're not just a quick fix to increase power.

sorry got a fmic etc and upped fuel pressure

sorry this probably wont help you at all but I have a question about phase 2,

It has already been installed (by previous owner) and I was wondering what the switch is used for. (mine has a switch on the dash that goes into the ecu, it is aftermarket and I have noticed in the online german version of the installation guide that it gets put in with phase 2)

I have previously thought it may be an electronic boost controller that is built into the phase 2 chips but when I drove the car and played with the switch, the boost didn't change, it stayed at stock levels.

Has anyone got an idea?

Should be a high and low boost i think

dearing5 · 07-10-2008, 16:05

got ecu out, cant removed clip in the middle!!

help please lol

dearing5 · 07-10-2008, 16:18

done that, cant open the rest

to get to the chips

dearing5 · 07-10-2008, 17:59

cant find the guide

anyone??

you slide the top row of connectors inwards which popsthe top board loose. (remember the plastic legs/pegs too)

dearing5 · 07-10-2008, 21:00

how much effort do i give it? seems pretty tight lol

dearing5 · 08-10-2008, 08:54

right done it

back in car, fired up wonderfully! idles at 1100 then drops to just under 1k so much smoother!! which its never done before!

when i removed standard chips they looked like nothing i've seen on here before!! just plain chips with a sticker on saying c20let lol
i think the guy before must of had some **** copies or something put in?

maldred · 08-10-2008, 09:16

yeah sounds like dodgey copies

elgan · 08-10-2008, 16:32

dearing5 · 08-10-2008, 18:40

1.2bar and 3.5-8 fuel

prefer it a bit richer tbh.
