There's been threads on here with people talking about Whooshy dump valves in the past 5 odd years too

loads more than laguna fmic threads

but it doesn't mean they work.

The laguna one works as an intercooler. it is more efficient at cooling the air than std, but is it up to the job that you want it to have?

Same applies to GRS or any other. (the grs wasn't)

I think that the most thought has gone into it from flashbsd, so we have only one creditable source of information there in my eyes. But the underlying problems with the mapping still exist making it hard to see the wood for the tree's on real data.

Issues like p-loss & temperature are easy to confirm. but other things like air flow is much harder to asertain.

I think from the posting ^^ is that it's not held by zip ties? which is a good thing.

As martyn said - same car, issue free, same fmic, same day would resolve a lot of the questions.

Annoyingly there's more to intercooler designs than just how big it is.

But doesn't it now?

That's what I mean - you can't confirm the FMIC is OK, since it still has problems with such timing corrections. Your cars changed so much since stage1 revo it's not a sensible direct comparison for comparing like for like.

I don't know if the others are all OK, but their actions do speak volumes (where they took them off)

i never use anything below 97 ever (ultimate, texaco super, esso super, optimax)

Yeah, but you don't have to use a higher RON for revo, but I always use:

~ 97 Sainsbury Super
~ 98 Optimax
~ 99 Tesco..

Hhmm thats LOADS for Optimax

I was at a meet about four miles from my house and Optimax was 101.9 but when i went to the one near my house it was 99.9, this was a couple of weeks ago

I filled up yesterday and Optimax is 98.9 ;)
