Right chaps, I have just fittd 1mm Mig tips to the boost hoses on the car, took her out for a spin and it will not boost beyond 0.5 bar, why would fitting boost jets cause the safety boost to be activated???

BTW done an ECU check, code 55, now I'm really confused!!

Anyone?

increased boost and you must at the very least use v-power fuel,iff you have a sensitive dett sensor it "will" pick up the extra boost and the slight start of a pink will put the car into safe mode. allso make sure your base timing is 15 degree and no more before increasing boost

btw what are you boosting to before it gets cut off

0.5 bar mate, it wont go any higher than that, I always use super in it, how would I check the timing???

surely you would be better to take the boost jets back out and see if it goes back to boost

to see if it is the problem

That will be fun lol had a job getting the buggers in there in the first place.

yea which brings me to another thing you need to be carfull about,when pushing the tips in dont use a metal rod as this can scruff up the small hole in the tips and you end up with 0.5mm holes which is not good at all,its better to use a wooden pencil as your dealing with soft copper. Plus dont use grease either as this can clog the hole and the autuators dont get a boost signal at all which is bye bye engine time,ime telling you this because ive had 7 years of zedship and its been a painfull learning process along the way :rofl: and sometimes costly ;)

I'll try and take them out tomorrow and have another look, zed ownership is fun isn't it???

Right, I removed the jets, rebored themn with a 1mm drill bit (there is no way that hole was 1mm) re-inserted them and all I can say is WOW!

 

Cheers for all your help chaps, Scotty is a happy chappy now :D

well in there nice to see you sorted it so quick :D
