needs mapping at the same time as fitting else its likely it will run roughly until it is mapped.

As standard they run rich so it would be ok to run without a map. But if its already been mapped then i would suggest getting it tweaked as you dont wanna run it too lean

Mine suffered from an extremely lumpy idle/cutting out and the journey to the mapper was difficult enough. As for running it on boost, I wouldn't even go there.

When mine was mapped after fitting CAIK it was running very lean, I would get a re-map personally.

Hi Tom,
cars good, was rebuilt by Paul Finch last year after a ringland failure. Unfortunately I blew the clutch at the pod on Saturday, literally half the material missing on the front side. All fixed now and ready to go. I am slowly learning what not to do.
nice to hear from you mate
