Lol boo! I want free food Yeah something like that the IHI VL36 or VL38 or something, all i know is taht it is the biggest IHI one I will let you know, it might be changed at the begining of next year maybe.... NEED MORE POWER!

If you do upgrade, you gonna go for the Garret SS unit? if you do sell up, I think ill have it rebuilt with modified internals for extra boost

Nah, there is another better Garrett unit im looking into getting, bigger than the SS unit tbh, if im gonna spend that kind ofmoney im gonna get the best I can! . yeah should give you a good result with modified internals, iwas tempted to, but I dont think I will get what I want out of it!

Just curious, I thought all Evo's had SS.

Shame about hill hold, but then again it is only ever a luxury, and not an essential. It's only more to go wrong, being a Fiat

Get 250ft/lb of torque and then tell me if it's a fun game.. It's a lot more challenging making it not flash :devil:

well y'know, got to stick with factory figures i'd love 250lbs of torque! Could always turn the ASR off but that gets you nowhere in a hurry and leaves half your tyres on the road haha

You should have hill holder have you tried it?

I was about to say that, mine has it, I thought all T-Jets did.

 

[Rigby]

Looks good!

Keep the Fiat badge on the back with this one!

How would I go about testing this?

How would I go about testing this?

Find a slight incline (mine even does it on my driveway). Stop, depress the clutch and brake with the car in gear (as usual). Then release the brake but keep the clutch fully depressed, the car should hold it's position for a few seconds before rolling back (this would normally give you time to find the bite point, but for the sake of this test, just keep the clutch in).

I recommend testing it without anyone behind you though, just in case..

Brake pedal will also stay solid if you go to apply it again after releasing it, but while hill holder is still active (like trying to put your foot on the brake when the engine is off and you've pumped all of the servo assistance out if it).

Tried it today, doesnt seem to have it :s Is there any method of turning it on/off in the cars computer settings?

Nope, its not a software thing, needs gyro sensors to detect the angles the car is sitting at.

i thought that too, infact i'm actually pretty sure they all do, the mrs tjet does anyway.

the mrs car also has the hazard lights come on under heavy braking which i thinks quite cool, anyone else with that?

 

[Freebo]

Disconnect your battery, when you reconnect it you'll more than likely get sh*t loads of errors saying your airbags, asr etc are buggered one of them might say hill hold. This is how I found out mine had it. Once you drive off after a few hundred yards it all start working again

Worth a try.

Yeah, my Bravo has this, has already stopped my tow bar writing off an Astra after an emergency stop from 60-0 on an A road

Nope, must be an S2 thing.
