He wanted to learn, that's why. 

 

Better to learn live tuning on a sh*t box than jump straight into flash tuning and blowing up your ford.

 

Edit: I definitely agreed on doing stuff right the first time.

puff, you previous long post, did you type that out, or did you copy it from a website?

If it was a website, can you please pm me the link.

I want to learn more and can't seem to find the info I am after, or I am just not putting two and two together.

I typed that on my phone. It's not conclusive but covers the general gist of load points. 

 

I'll pm you some links if you like.

 

Just pm me what you want to know either specifically or generally and I'll find something relevant for you or straight out tell you (if I know the answer) if it's a quick answer.

Get either hard copies or e-books and start reading.

Believe it or not but I looked at pcm hacking when I had the bt1 cause I wanted to boost the 5oh but I got the bf cause faster now. 

Had I known that little bit of insight I would've kept the bt1 and done that on the side. 

 

Never mind I'll do it the hard way haha! 

 

Thanks puff and Ralph :spoton:

 If you change the actuator for turbosmart you need to set the preload. This will be difficult to get correct. If the stock one is dodgy best to replace with stock one.

 

But saying that it may be something completely different. You need someone with experience to take a look at it..

So  easy to buy all mods, fit or get tuner to fit.  Drive car in , get tuned, drive out and enjoy.  

 

Do it once, do it right!!

Even though my first info was a bit around the wrong way I did touch on these things.

Agree 100% about genuine actuator and having the drive in drive out,enjoy option. Do what your confident in fitting leave the rest to the tuner.
