Have you decided who will do mechanical and tune brah?

[R-SPEC]

Sounds like coilpacks or spark plug - a cylinder or two isn't firing. Unburnt fuel going through the hot headers or turbo(?) is what's making the cat glow.

If it does it at idle, you can diagnose by running engine with bonnet open and pulling/replacing each coilpack individually until you find the one that makes no difference to the engine sound. Then when you find the faulty cylinder, swap it's coil pack to another cylinder and see if the problem moves to the new cylinder. If it does, then coilpack. If it doesn't, then loom or spark plug in the original cylinder will most likely be it.

twas indeed a broken coilpack

funny, i had just finished making up the carsales ad for it when i went out and noticed it.

could be a sign?

[Birds]

Good stuff^ could have been much worse. Could have been a sign that you're meant to keep it but most people take a car falling apart as a sign not to lol.

I'll do the mechanical, not sure where to get it tuned yet. Recommendations?

[blah_blah]

If you can get your car towed just go to Trent @ Chequered tuning I'd say.

He does all the tuning for Stao so he'd be familiar with them.

[Mohsen]

My cousins Ali and Habib can dyno tune, single spinners only though. They only managed to steal 1 hub dyno

[Birds]

Car will be driveable off boost with the high flow fitted...might leave standard injectors / ECU in there and baby it to the tuner. Tao did recommend Trent cause of his familiarity to the turbos, said it would be easy to tune off previous maps rather than start from scratch.

[Sunkist]

^ every car is different.. ide be starting from scratch incase something is missed..

[HEKT1K]

Power fc Birds? If so you can change settings to suit bigger injectors/afm quite easily. Then just stay off boost on your way to the tuner

wow

Looks like it'd still be a half decent front cut.

[blah_blah]

Trent is unlikely to install the injectors for you. So you may need to find another avenue

[Sunkist]

Chasers will..

[Mohsen]

Ali and Habib will too

Forgot about this, never used a PFC before but if it's that easy I'll look it up / get you to show me. I know there's a reset which defaults it to a really conservative "limp mode" allowing you to baby it to a tune.

[R31Nismoid]

It wont work with larger injectors.

You'll need to configure them within the PFC at a bare minimum regardless, or it will just over fuel and stall, it might not even idle.
