After a quick search Hurdy seemed to get good results from the forge? On his ed30.

Ill have a chat with Alex later if I remember.

yep, the s3 g247 made my engine run lean.

It is do with the voltage they signal on,  bwa has one point and it seems the s3 has to points.


Tips.
Just change it on your drive! only took me 1.5 days on my own, really easily job  :drinking:


Where is this sensor located and do you have a part number for it?

It was an arse to fit and set-up like Steve jr says, but gave decent results. I don't know if I'd bother again though for the small benefit v's hassle.

Both BWA? both 400bhp?

Which cylinder did your piston break up on Dan?

Just read all this and its safe to say you are nuts mate, absolutely crazy build, didnt think these engines would cope with anywhere near that much power, impressive stuff.
Need to see where this is going,
Would have to be crazier than you not to sub to this  :stupid:
