You would have thought they could have insulated the connectors, and put better wire covering, ie OEM
That is for the price you paid 
But then again, installing TB's isnt brain surgery, as the OMEX should supply a copy of how to install, so technically you could do everything apart from the mapping  |
true mate the manual i got even shows you how to operate the pc software to set them up but at the end of the day i much rather a respectable company do it as well...if i messed it up it would be my fault lol.

Yes I thought wiring up the ECU would be quite hard but it seems amazingly simple really. Just disconnect everything, remove the ECU bulb and give the new ECU the minimum of inputs it needs to run the engine.
Emerald software is given away with the Dave Walker Engine Management book (which I have) but I don't think the Omex stuff is as readily available to all. I'm going to find out though because it's my map and I want to know everything I can about it.

All the software and owners manuals can be downloaded from the Omex website. When an ECU is ordered it is optional for the PC cable and manual are ordered with it.

Ecosse are going to send me an air temp sensor and the wiring for it.
The airboxes are about £210 delivered this time last year. ACT Products have a website so you can see the sort of stuff they do.

Ah cool. It's a nice car mate - what sort of power is she making then? Will you need a remap after you've fitted the air sensor, i'd say you would?
Apprecaite the tip on the airbox mate that's really helpful ta

Apparently 214bhp ish...
We shall see if anything needs adjusting once the sensor is attached. The OMEX instructions suggest the ECU needs to be told the temp sensor is fitted so I imagine that also requires me to have access to the settings i.e. a password if it requires one.
Everything else has been thoroughly sorted on this car so I'm not going to settle for the engine not being set up perfectly.
Would you believe the car has done less than 500 miles since I picked it up. That includes the trip back from Scotland!

Of course! I always wanted a toy in the garage and that's what I've got!
I don't really need to go out in the car and I don't see the point in going out just for the sake of it! Maybe I'll take it for a run this weekend. I also have the move the Modus out of the way to get the Peugeot out of the garage.
I actually started it up earlier and left it running to warm it up enough for the fan to come on. I varied the revs every now and again and it makes some scary spitting sounds from the bodies when plipping the throttle!
Since I got the car back I could smell oil in the garage but there was no sign of any leaks other than the night I got it home and there was a bit on the driveway and today there was a spot on the garage floor.
As the car was running I put it up on the ramps and had a look and it's on the sump at the cambelt end of the engine. I'll have a look this weekend to see where it's coming from but it's not too serious. I have never had cars with oil leaks and I don't intend to start now.
I also bought some clips that hold the PAS pipes under the engine. These are broken and so the pipes aren't very secure. I needed two but they come in a bag of five. The dealer couldn't find them when I first ordered them and when they ordered them again the originals turned up. They gave me the extras for free so I now have enough for five cars!

I remember with my 206 I often had to move three cars off the drive to get it out the garage! It makes it worthwhile though once your out for a blast.

I might take it for a run rounds the lanes above Lancaster sometime...If I can be bothered.
Seeing as I like pictures I took some...
Broken clip...it was always broken but the pipes were at least hooked where they belong once upon a time. Should have bought some new clips ages ago.
A bit of oil. No idea where it's coming from but it's as high as the water pump housing. It could have blown upwards though. Of course it shouldn't be there but I'll clean it up this weekend and keep an eye on it.
