    Rica 310

    Fitted a RICA 310 over the weekend to my C70 T5 (wow )

    Only thing is I now seem to get a slightly.....jolty acceleration like spinning the wheels (which I am not)...happens in all gears...anyone any ideas?

    Cheers

    It could be a problem with the boost being unstable i had this problem and put a different boost controller on which sorted the problem

    Welcome to the world of remaps !!!

    I always found when first mapped it took a few miles for the ECU to adapt to the new parameters

    It's not one of those expensive "revs are rising but I'm not going any faster" syndromes is it??

    Ta very much must say a re-mapped T5 is a lot more impressive than my T4

    A remap often shows up a weak BCS (been there done that) so if you still have the problem after a couple of days driving that would be my next port of call.

    Awesome to both you and Pete for suggesting that luckily I have a spare one (although the IPD is looking good about now).

    I would say anything like that is worth a try i hope you get it all sorted also have you read the codes and if so does it throw any
    No codes....no CEM....no nothing....just jittery boost...doesn't do it on the standard Ecu so must be the BCS...either way, time to get my tools out again lol

    Are you sure that after the T4 youre not dropping off the gas because youre scared when it comes on boost
    Where'd I put that damn trout to smack you upside the head with lol
    Oooh here it is
    In all honesty though....damn does it fly compared to the T4....feels heavier (cause it is) but when she moves she reallllly moves love it to pieces

    Interesting? Mine gets a BSR stage 2 remap on wednesday, so i will let you all know the outcome.....
    That would be really useful thanks

    I loved the wee T4 its the perfect car for bobbing about in with a little fun factor but the mapped T5 is where the real fun starts - I think everyone should have one of each lol!

    Ok.........having thumbed through Vadis for what I am after.....can anyone tell me where the BCS is located....and......what the hell it looks like? I have a part from Nads which came of an S70 T5 of the same year....so it stands to reason I have one of these parts in there (and it looks like the thing I swapped in the T4).

    However....there is a unit just off the airbox (under the damn MAF I swapped typically) and Vadis seems to point at this as the BCS....anyone shed some light for a T5 convert?
