Looks like the second TurboTuner is faulty, the car is hard to start and runs on 3 cylinders and backfires, even with the same map on it. At least I have plenty of time to get it sorted.

so is that why Paul couldn't get on with it, in his car, may be he should try yours in his car (different map of course) !!!

I've had an email from Adam, and he said it sounds faulty, so I'll get it sorted in the new year, I won't need it initially anyway as the engine will be standard.

Sounds a good reason why it never worked

Yep, do you want to have another go with it once it's fixed?

**Volvostorm** · Saturday 21st December 2013, 20:11

Could be worth a try

Shall we try mine in your car after Christmas?

**Volvostorm** · Saturday 21st December 2013, 20:24

Sounds a good idea to me, thanks

It would be nice to know if that is why it didn't work for Paul

Seeing as I am replacing the front and rear bumpers, tail gate, bonnet and both front wings, I may as well respray the whole car, so be prepared for a flip of the current colour scheme, so yellow on top and black on the bottom and back, but the yellow will be poke your eye out yellow.

No rush on my part, just let me know when it's all off.

**AndysR** · Saturday 28th December 2013, 17:03

Sounds interesting....

**Biff** · Saturday 28th December 2013, 17:29

Really looking forward to seeing your results Colin!

Well, the plan was to take the Beast up to the unit this afternoon to start on the transplant, and the bloody thing won't start, (no spark) so I'll have to look at it on Saturday
