Since i got my UK TT Manual, i always thought it was quick, having got used to it, i couldnt understand why it would only boost to 7psi. However today this has all changed.

It started when i was reading a thread about a det bypass, having checked the resistor it was dead as a dodo. So i got hold of 5 x 1Mohm ones. (as spares)

I disconnected the battery to reset the ecu, and did the bypass and an oil change and filter,

After connecting it all back up, i noticed on the boost pipes, some jubilee clips, so i investigated to find that i have boost jets too. :hyper:

One of which was blocked, after cleaning and checking it all.

Started the engine to check the oil, and it sounds completely differnt to before. No hissing if that makes sense.

Out for a drive, floor it and what the hell as happend to my zed..........

Now it boosts all the way up, it pulls like a total animal and works so much better. Cant believe its that quick.......

 

Fooks sake ive never had to change gear so fast, it has gone from a beast ( so i thought ) to a complete and utter maniac.

The noise from the BOV's is insane, the turbos sound way better and the zed is now scarey.

:bow::bow:

So when can i have a go

:bow::bow:nice one mate

lol, nice one, welcome to the world of overboost :)

 

Enjoy it mate

you will be able to keep up now then mate ;) hahaha

The noise from the BOV's is insane,

 

 

Like a Scania truck's airbrakes? hehe ;)

 

Nice one Stu! Bet you fell in love with the car all over again. :bow:

so glad for you stu....i'm glad i mentioned your resistor being suspect....seeing as they are so cheap worth changing every year or service along with your mig tips i reckon

:D

nice one mate, i bet youre exhibiting the 'z smile' all over again

Is it possible to tell via conZult whether the Det sensor is doing as it should?

IIRC mine was showing up when topless came down and plugged the conzult in

found this from Dan Zatt re det sensor / conzult

The ECU will store all faults for up to 50 "starts" - a bit awkward but that's what it does. Once the ECU has been reset you start with a clean slate with "start 1". If you look at a ConZult readout of the fault codes you'll see things like:

 

"Code 34 - 7 starts ago"

"Code 14 - 2 starts ago"

 

etc.

bargain mate .. now even more excited about getting mine on full boost :p

7psi makes a hell of a lot of difference.

 

I just hope its not detting now that the knock sensor is bypassed.

Congrats stu :dance:

Like all the sensors it will show a error code if the ECU can not get a reading from it.

Wayhey! Good on ya Stu, glad to hear your on full power! :dance:

Just be careful, OK?

i had done all the susporting mods exhaust chup decated and bought a electronic boost controller. i never fitted it tho as i knew i would wanna keep her:cool:

 

nice one mate!:duffer:

Funny how extra boost makes these cars come alive! I could never keep one as stock, they feel quick and fun but up the boost and its like a different car in every way!

i fookin hate mine gggrrrr

party on!:dance:

 

dan.:D

Whoohoo, awesome dude !!

Go and buy a boost controller and you'll have even more fun.

yeah I find the extra 100hp makes a huge difference!

100hp more makes you feel alive - especially in the wet! I had exactly the same problem when I first bought mine.

Ohh yes, going on roundabouts and hitting boost is fun until you have even more fun with the metal fence / wall!
