Ok i think i have sucessfully installed it, but one green light goes on all the time even when the engine is off so what's going on? It doesn't light up any more when going along, but when i tap at the sensor it the lights go up. If the sensor was gone will it still light up if i tapped it? HELP!

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

my bottom one lights up nearly all the time.. Drive the car and take it up to the limiter and you should at least get some activity..

Have you got the power wired to a switched live? sounds like your power is on all the time.
