Cool

Mike, not an expert on this by any means but here goes. I have my97 uk with dawes. My 97 fuel cut is 1.2 bar so you won't be able to run it at that, 1.19 max. I would fit all your gadgetry asap as you need to keep an eye on fuelling, I have an afr fitted, with I assume does same sort of thing as lambda link as it's connected to same part on ecu. (not 100% sure on lambda bit there). You definitely need to be aware of too much boost without remap can cause large bangs...... Saying that most people want lots of boost, the risks are yours. From what I've read the full de cat with dawes may cause boost spikes and fuel cut etc. Sorry about my minimal knowledege, hope this helps.

Cheers

Marc

Fit it after the knocklink/lambdalink is on.... then turn it to fuel cut, then turn it back half a turn each time until it no longer fuel cuts in 5th gear, then turn it back a further half to full turn. If you run anymore then you are dicing with fuel cut, which is not good for your nerves, road safety, your engine or your trasmission if visited regularly.
