After reading your Delta dash V Dawes I have purchased a Dawes Device (I don’t hold you responsible ;->
At the moment my UK MY97 80K (sounds new when warm) car has………nothing!
At the weekend I hope to fit a Blitz induction kit with Magnex back box and Magnex decat (with resonator) centre pipe, if they get delivered on time.
Basically, do you recommend that I fit these before the Dawes OR am I able to fit Dawes with boost gauge and tune to 15 – 16 psi if my other bits don't come? If I fit them after the Dawes will have to readjust the device to maintain 15 – 16 PSI?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob

I think john is in the middle of building a lap-top for 87p just now 
I recently fitted a DD to a mates totally standard MY00.this transformed the car,running at 15 to 16psi.he ran it like this for possibly 3months,never hit fuel-cut or had any problems.two weeks ago I fitted a Magnex d/p and centre and his car started overboosting in anything above 3rd third gear.I think I screwed out the dawes by 3full turns to bring it back down to 15/16psi.the car was going very well but at Knockhill he thought it was overboosting out the hairpin,so he screwed it out some more but it kept doing it,I later looked at his fuel gauge and it was below 1/2full,so I think it was fuel surge and nothing to do with the dawes.
he says that the dawes device gave him far larger gains than the exhaust system.
I do not know where fuel cut is on your year.the easiest way is to start low and increase boost 1psi at a time to find it on your boost gauge and then back it off 1.5/2psi.

Do it in any order. Fuel cut will save you from going too silly with the boost, and don't expect to run the boost I was in that thread... You may need to adjust it say 1/2 a turn to account for the exhaust. I think the MY97 still has the small TD04L turbo like the later models (I think MY96 and earlier had TD05), so make sure your Dawes has a 1.5mm bleed hole on it.
