Just met simon that mapped my car previously before i brought it. I just had anti lag added to the simtec down at surrey rolling road where he was mapping and doing power runs. U dont understand how much fun can come from a switch lol. Anyone thinking of getting any mapping would 100 % recommend simon talked u through everything and was happy to answer any questions u had lol.

cheers simon for sorting that out for me today and sorry for giving 21 questions lol and if u change your mind about swapping your k sports for my 4 pots just pm me lol cheers rob

 

Haven't a clue about anti-lag can you switch it on and off then?

 

yea mate just by a lil toggle switch that is fitted by handbrake in my car. Get sim tec mate when upgrading ecu runs mafless ,can add launch control ,anti lag so much fun for tunnels lol

 

What time was you down there?

 

around 5 ish mate till about 7ish i spose

 

I was there untill 3

Thank you to Simon from me aswell, very happy with the results.

 

I heard from some post that you need upgraded turbo and manifold is this true?

 

they can make it less aggressive as long as u dont drive around all the time with it on. I use it now and then to scare people at bus stops ,tunnels ect lol

 

moley what u get a tweak? Was u happy with results?

 

Put a new exhaust and up-pipe on a few weeks ago, and needed a tweek of the map.

Managed to get an extra 22bhp, and much more torque.

It now has 338bhp.

VERY happy

 

.... not just a power increase though, it also drives much better

 

sounds very good did u notice the extra on the road ?

 

just what i was writing lol

 

dont u miss your classic yet?

 

Sim Tec is this an expensive ECU option?

 

Much better on the road, pulls well and the power delivery is spot on.

Yeah i miss the Classic, but with a few more handling mods i think the Newage will be a worthy replacement.

 

Have you notified your insurance company?

 

Tunnels become more fun!

Nice to see you yesterday guys

Simon

 

I'm still learning, and learning loads, but could someone point me in the right direction to learn/ read about anti lag switch, cheers

 

Google is your friend

So you can get this sort of sound

. But on a road car setup you wont see as massive a gain in spool but the fantastic noise etc

Simon

 

ALS in a road car is just noise ... be careful with your turbo though best to use it sparingly

What you shouldn't use it all the time?

 

Definitly a small gain on gearchange on my road car.

I will have to log it to see the gain, all be is small, but it also feels better.

Simon

 

And thats the key to it Gary, so much better to drive.

 

What's the chirping sound coming from the engine?

 

Turbo stall due to no dump valve.

Also wrongly called wastegate chatter.

Simon

 

I was there when Simon was adjusting your ALS Sonic

And a thanks to Simon from me aswell

 

Thanks

 

Great to hear success stories guys, i'm going through this myself very soon.


Almost there simon, switches in place and walbro ordered today.

 

Is that good or bad
