yep, exactly CerealKiller said. when i get out of my car, i keep one hand on the quarter panel until both fee are on the ground. then no problems.

i hated the damn shocks too. someone said something about earting the charge you generate or something while driving.

someone else must know the technical explanation.

it depends on what you wear and how long the drive is. i've noticed that 100% cotton is fine (very little chance of shock).

the worst seems to be a polyester / nylon blend (aka trousers) which for me personally causes large shocks (when I forget to discharge myself).

There's less humidity in the air in winter -> air is less conductive -> static electricity can build up without being dissipated by the humidity.

Man made fabrics are the worst.

Solution: Stop wearing the polyester jumpsuit and nylon undies or just work blue. :shake:

Here's something interesting. Women are more likely to cause an explosion while filling up petrol. This is because there are more likely to have dry skin which for some reason cause the person to be statically charged. Static electricity + fumes from fuel = sky high pie. Very odd chance but still possible.

Maybe you have dry skin? I do and I get static all the time especially during winter.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
