Smile Flames from ars@ end

Now the suspension is sorted ( alk kit , Front and rear ARB,eibachs, koni + Fr strut brace) about to tweak engine with Ecu upgrde an d Full decat.

Will the decat i.e. uninterrupted impednace from engine provide flames at gear change overrun etc.

And if not what will? Plenty of curvy dark lines wish to light up the landscape.

Flames aren't really a desirable thing WRT the heath of the enigne / turbo. Flames come from overfuel and therefore unburnt fuel coming through the exhaust and igniting due to the heat. The point of the remap is to get the fuelling spot on (amongst other things) so you're not really going to get any.

VTA dump valves help this as they totally confuse the ECU at gearchange on boost, and you get unburnt fuel. You will still be lucky if it flames.

If you're very sad you can fit a flamer kit (spark plug in the tail pipe)
