Mines all sorted now, got 7b plugs in now gapped to .65mm. Went to the nurburgring with no problems, never ran so well or so fast.
Very happy.

Sorry it's been a while since I updated the thread or replied to PMs. I've been away from home as my father died last week and he lived 300 miles away. There's been a lot to deal with...
Hi Paul, your inbox is full so I thought I'd reply here.
Please bear in mind that the chip is advertised as producing 16psi as the settings for the boost control solenoid will produce that on a healthy setup. If your BCS is old or worn or there are other factors, then you won't achieve full boost. Firstly, check and clean all the pipes to and from the BCS and clean the BCS itself with brake and clutch cleaner, see if that makes any difference. Let me know how you get on.

LOL....glad to see these things are still selling, and also glad someone else has to deal with all the enquiries and try to convince people thay have coil pack issues or their boost control pipes are plumbed wrong.
Dodgey coilpacks were the bain of my life.......

i can vouch for these chips, i've just had one supplied and fitted by major sarcasm and he was good enough to look over my ecu when i thought it was fried. Top guy tbh, The chip has made loads of difference to engine responsivness and power and has made my car a lot more fun to drive.

Hi,
Did you tryed to clean all the hoses that get into the boost solenoid and the solenoid also??If not try clean them with carb cleaner or brake cleaner.
I didn't do nothing to mine except cleaning everithing but now the roads are covered in snow so i can't test the car at maximum capacity.
The only solution i think if cleaning dosen't work is to modify the wastegate arm lenght.

Hi guys, sorry I missed this one, I've been a little busy over xmas.
Boost creep could be down to exhaust design coupled with other factors. These cars are getting old, many things can affect boost control.
Kox's suggestion about lengthening the actuator arm slightly is a good one and what I was going to suggest too. Pop it off the wastegate, wind it out a turn or two and see if that helps.

anyone running a boost gauge with theirs? what boost do you get?
fitted a boost gauge today and im only getting 14psi, sometimes it will spike to 16.
i recently checked my coils packs and replaced one which was cracked.
maybe i have to check my boost plumbing for splits.

The boost levels are set for an ideal world. Ideal world being newish car with newish components. Also, with these kinds of remaps, we have to have relatively conservative settings or people will hit boost cut all over the place. In addition, boost gauges are rarely accurate and most cars have less boost in 1st & 2nd gears. My car is mapped by Bob Rawle with a Prodrive 3-port boost control solenoid and I don't get anywhere near max boost in 1st.
It's not all about boost, it's about driveability too. 99% of people agree, with a chip fitted, the cars feel quicker, are more responsive and give better fuel economy. Not bad for a hundred quid.
If you need better than this, you need a tailored option; an aftermarket boost controller & a standalone ECU, custom-mapped specifically for your car.
