I'll email you the ecu wiring diagram assuming it is the same as mine.

Did you do much cruising on the drag strip then?

Talking if this lot ever fits it'll be a miracle

Prodrive WRC ceramic coated exhaust system




got my work cut out with this project, it's short meeting my downpipe by 15-20mm, oh and it needs mounting on the other side of the car


Inside the backbox, interesting design


Twin HJS Motorsport cats





also picked up a set of 305mm Prodrive Alcon discs and bells, just need some new calipers now...

...and some mudflaps, the jury's still out on these though






oh, and i did 3 sessions at donington this afternoon, do i need a remap or what?! the car was completely undriveable, boost was playing up and i couldn't get round it by altering the duty cycle, ended up dropping it down to .9 bar, something's not right somewhere with my AVC-R/Power FC

also got the check engine light come on half way through the day, i'll find out what it is sometime this week, car ran fine so hopefully it's nothing serious lol, famous last words

nice Kev..

isn;t the check engine light wired in to come on when you get det above a certain level on the Apexi??

Something that springs to mind with the new exhaust is.. it is mounted on the wrong side on Petter's car!!

Thumbs up

check engine light just flashes when you get det, this one is constant need to find the wires under the dash and check the error code


and that's where the challenge lies, i've not got a problem with the backbox and pipework over the driveshafts, thats seems ok (apart from where to hang it from) it's just from there to the downpipe that interesting

Do the plugs under the dash still work with the apexi?

you could just run it straight to the downpipe

no, no they dont still work, neither the diagnostic function or the reset works because the apexi doesnt adjust to compensate iirc.

thats one thing that worried me at first but now reassures me.
were I to have afailing MAF etc, the ecu wont compensate for it and the symptioms will show early on.

the only CEL i have encountered on my car was when I disconnected the oem boost solenoid electrically, reconnected and disco, no CEL.
