    Thumbs up Boost Control

    After meeting Ebo06 he said to me why dont you first become a member and get yourself a boost control both I want to do, I dont have a paypal so is the option of paying into somebodys account then waiting a few days to be come a member. Apart from that the boost control whats the best one to get and who to fit

    you coulld always fit a remapped ecu (£150 echange) which up's the boost to 1.1 bar and trims the fueling , works great on a standard car and is a 10 minute fit with only a screwdriver and a 10mm spanner , it is less than the price of an ebc and has seen some good torque and bhp gains .

    have a search on here for remapped 7201 thread

    You can also get the ecu tuned by eurospec on a dyno if you get a newer ecu than what you have in your car, but for a simple option a 7201 isn't bad at all
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    The remapped 7201 ECU swap is possibly the easiest option, and you would also benefit from having just a couple of plain supporting mods, e.g. decat pipe and panel filter.

    Alternatively, you can fit an EBC or a mechanical boost controller for about £20, but you get no benefits such as the fuel adjustment with a remap.

    I'm definitely interested in a remapped ECU, don't suppose anyone is attending the midlands mini meet in Jan who could bring one along so I could get it fitted on the day?!?
