<div class="bbWrapper">You need some way to attach the turbo to the manifold, which I'm sure you have planned. You'll need a custom zorst too.<br /> <br /> Van Aaken setups use an MF2 second injector controller. The low boost setup uses the standard ecu, but the high boost included a remap.<br /> <br /> Pete.<br /> <span style="font-size: 9px"><a href="http://mysite.freeserve.com/close_to_cracking_up" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">1242cc cinq</a>, <a href="http://theblackone.mysite.freeserve.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">turbo cinq</a>, <a href="http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cinqs_and_Seis" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Cinqs&amp;Seis Yahoo group</a>, <a href="http://www.clubcento.co.uk" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Clubcento</a></span></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Pete - just read your post properly - I don't think all High Boost conversions included a remap as mine was mechanically altered as it proved to difficult for them to do it on the ECU - so they left it standard and altered everything through the MF2.<br /> Matt<br /> <br /> &quot;No it's not a custard&quot;<br /> ------------------------<br /> [email protected]<br /> ------------------------<br /> Plans are a bit f**ked now - Any offers on a Van Aaken Turbo High Boost engine?? ... offers gotta be good tho!

<div class="bbWrapper">'k, cheers mate. Any ideas how the mechanical alteration was done? Thinking about altered crank pulleys... and upping the boost on my 1242 later too<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> Pete.<br /> <span style="font-size: 9px"><a href="http://mysite.freeserve.com/close_to_cracking_up" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">1242cc cinq</a>, <a href="http://theblackone.mysite.freeserve.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">turbo cinq</a>, <a href="http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Cinqs_and_Seis" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Cinqs&amp;Seis Yahoo group</a>, <a href="http://www.clubcento.co.uk" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Clubcento</a></span></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">one thing though, the high boost included a superchip which was remapped, the reason they stopped providing the high boost is because they were using remapped (and cracked/hacked) superchips without permission and altering the code run on the superchip.<br /> <br /> Above is what im led to believe <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /><br /> <br /> Abarth Kitted Cinq Sporting, New lil siggy pic coming soon, till then.... not much really lol</div>
