Might be more economical to remap the ECU?

Boost control with a 3 port solenoid is just as good as an AVC-R.

Hi Phil
It's not you I was thinking bout then if you got from bugeye.

I tried to buy one off a guy called Ammar and I think he's ripped me off, he had one for sale on scoobynet earlier this month.

He sold it to someone on here and offered me his mates brand new one. Thing is I've given him £340 cheque which he's cashed and he keeps coming up with excuses, just wanna know if he's genuine. His latest is 'it's lost in post'.

Basically he's not answering my emails, just wanted to track down the person who bought it to see how they got on and find if he was genuine, otherwise i'm gonna have to take a trip to London and pay him a visit

James

Hi James

I hope you get it all sorted, I thought everyone here was friendly and honest,lets hope so. If its lost in the post he will have a reference number to chase it up, no one would send an item worth £300 uninsured.He should refund you the money and take it up with the post office.
Hope you have a good Christmas.
Phil

Hi John,

Is it really easy to fit to MY99. If so is their any pointers you can give me. James im very sorry to hear about your misfortune, it only takes one or two too take the trust away from buying on forums such as these.

Thanks

Ryan
