i've been sleeping with 1 foot out of the blankets (apparently). wake up the next morning with mozzie bites all over my foot/lower leg. not really getting worse reactions than normal though. i use good old calamine lotion. if it's a really bad one i use stingoes (or however it's spelt).

apparently it's going to be a bad mozzie season here in SE qld thanks to all the flooding over the past few months creating a lot of new breeding spots

All the rain we've been having... mozzies are probably having orgies and giving birth to freak offspring.

What bothers me more than the itching is actually being woken up in the middle of the night by a fu*ken mosquito right near my ear and not being able to get back to bed till it's dead. I'd rather sleep through and wake up in the morning with a couple of bites than lose half an hour's sleep at 3am but get him before he gets me.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Damn big welts and giant histamine reactions this year like nothin' before > grrrrr

My fault too, for being too lazy to buy some hydrocortisone cream - sh!t

I haven't had an issue with mosquito bites since I learned that the histamine is the bodies response to the protein in the mosquitoes saliva. Simple cure, make a cup of coffee or something hot, and hold it on the bite for 10-15 seconds or as long as you can bear without actually burning yourself. Might have to repeat a few times, but usually works first go for me. The heat denatures the protein, meaning no more histamine response = no more itchiness.

Of course my issue with mosquitoes in general is that they are disease-harboring parasites, so I kill the f**kers anyway.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
