Hey guys,

Unfortunately I got into a bit of an accident so long story short, my front bumper is damaged. Basically there are quite a few cracks where the number plate is and a few long scratches here and there. But what I more concerned about is the crack. I'm thinking would it be cheaper just to get a whole new front bumper as opposed to repairing the existing damaged one? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

by the way I'm new to the forums so hey how's it going? :(

If your car is insured, just get the whole new front bumper. If you are thinking of having bodykit someday and don't mind letting stock bumper go, you can go aftermarket.

but whatever you do, make sure you go to a reputable insurance smash repair place.

My car is insured however my standard excess is a bit on the high end so if it's a lot cheaper to either get a second hand factory bumper or an aftermarket one then I'd probably go for that option.

Thanks for the reply guys!

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
