Clever bit of kit. But don't you need a lambda sensor? Surly the dyno is cheaper! Though I'd like one of those to mess with.


Yeah you need a lambda sensor, which means welding a bung into the exhaust. My local exhaust shop did it for a tenner though. I think the kit is around 150 including a sensor. Probably not far off dyno time? Although you get to keep it! Its good to keep an eye on, especially for turbo motors. Its helped me rule out fuelling problems for a number of issues I've had.

No it's more. I paid £50 for the fueling & £100 to get it set up. (3 sestions.) But it's still interesting. Still a I don't have the experience so would still want it on the dyno to get the best out of it. But some dynos really don't know what there doing. Maybe I'm lucky having two with a lot of Pork racing experience local. Watching them work is worth every penny. They know things that I never will!! Would like to go for throttle bodies & emerald but the accountant wouldn't stand it.
Edit. Just clicked your link. Thats a mean looking turbo. What adjustable top mounts are those!!

Thanks, the camber plates are racers edge installed by the P/O along with KW V3 and re-indexed torsion bars. Its running about 275BHP at the moment although that might change in the future :D.

I agree about the dyno and the right tuner, at the end of the day its the only way to get your engine spot on. When its only £150 quid it probably is a better way forward than a chip. I bet your car goes very well indeed.
