My engine runs at around 100 after the MBC was installed. Im just going to get the oil changed to a better type........or keep my foot off the throttle!

You think thats bad, try a motor way run with a T25 turbo, FSE valve and 1 bar boost with hybrid cam........

My poor oil temp is way high!

Ok so I received my MBC last tuesday but still haven't figure out how to install it.
Went to a car tuner yesterday and he did not know how to install it either (what a wanker) :kill: http://www.autotuningmegastore.nl/


So I set all my hopes on you Dragon :wink: to send me your pictures.
Oooooh I am so exited, I can't wait to install it and make a test drive.


Ok had to spill my hart out................

Ask for Hamish.
I suggest this because it's near you. Best to take the car to him & let him set it up for you on the dyno.
