Today I go to Rica and they will change my ecu so the ecu can handle more boost :hopping:

I think the 200hp will be easy :rofl: Now I have 180 hp with 0,8 bar. But I want not to much boost, I think about 1.2 or 1.3 bar.

I hope it will give me a 30hp more.

I have a t25 turbo and more....

Rica told me that the ecu was not the problem. My ignition is not good but everything is new.

But couple of months ago I had the wrong injectors and my sparks were full with benzine. Do I need new sparks?

I had denso iridiums are they good?

I would go for std type NGK's, but one or two degrees colder. (BPR8/9ES??)
Iridiums are overpriced for their benefits and they still wear...

Problem wre the sparks and I put the orginal back in it.

I drove 0,8 bar and now 1,0 bar and I have a big smile. Can't wait for more pressure and now I think the 200 hp wil be reachable.
