for what its worth i voted for the never die option and julie, you should have more faith....lol
to really protect BT she needs a new owner lol

not sure where you picked up the knowledgable bit from but if you say so lol, i am working on some electrics to swop between the ecu & the MBC having control of the boost depending on certain circumstances, but it will still be with the 15g map (i'm just seeing what can be done without touching the ecu)

Hi Pedro, I guess in theory it will go bang as Julie says, however, going with this thought the old girl should have bent a few rods by now, so I recon in theory it will, so in practice it won’t and as I can’t vote both ways I will just say good luck and “Go your own way” On the fence? You bet lol.

lol excellent one, out of interest which way did you vote

i've finished the head scratching on the wiring diagram for the boost controller. I took the glovebox out & got all the switches & relays i need today so hopefully tomorrow can get the wire strips out & start putting it together, going to try it on the 15g for a while & see if everything works as planned before the 19t goes on
