[robwsurf]

Right i never really did an ongoing post of my intial build but now i ve got garage to fix my car after headgasket went last year thought i d start one.

Goto photobucket and upload them there. Read the instructions on photobucket about copy and paste and away you go. Ive just done it and was easy.
Good luck with the project, will be watching.

I'm pretty sure thats the boost module mate. Pretty good wee box of tricks, I have one at the moment on the mk2.

[robwsurf]

thought the boost module had a pipe on it though this has a plug with 5 wires and a small screw next to it and one screw in the back

[Marksman]

Adjustable FCD? Or just the electronic part of a boost controller?

Owen.

[robwsurf]
