Forge one goes in the same location.


And t-piece fitting is fail, not nearly street or shiny enough.


Really.

a kit of some form another is well worth it  :happy2: (I used forge one..)

you can also take a signal from an aftermarket forge DV if you have one fitted...

Wicked guys, thnaks for this. Have ordered the new forge one that pretty much clips into place.
The one thing i can say about this forum is that, when you need help you get it.
thank you for this

Sure the boost leak isn't occurring because of faulty installation?

^^^ Agreed, if it wasn't for the fact it doesn't work with OEM bluetooth installed I would have brought this a long time ago  :sad1:

What's the sampling rate like on the Kufatec stuff? I keep meaning to buy their Bluetooth thing. I imagine it's just picking data up from the CAN right?

indeed at that level you are running std boost levels as joe states

Thats what i thought but the battery has never been dissconnected, got it booked in at a place near me who reckons he can do a pressure test on it to see if there are any leaks, if there are no leaks then i'll get in touch with custom code to see if they can check the map, so fingers crossed it should be sorted soon.
