performance-wise Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Grab a bleeder valve fro $100 and do that whenever aswell.My Power FC is currently collecting dust under the bed untill i get the front mount done. Literally! Gotta get my act together could you explain the function of the bleeder valve. I am the same ive had the intercooler for about 3 months now but havent gotten around to it until now. gonna do it all at once to avoid extra costs.

Birnie Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Bleeder valve is a cheapo boost controller. Turbosmart is the most common. Would have to be the cheapest easiest upgrade ever! Do a search and should be a bit about it.

performance-wise Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 They are NOT interchangable so as long as you order the one for your car' date=' you will be fine. www.nengun.com has been used by heaps of people on these forums, do a search and you will see. Very cheap and comes with warranty. does the FC commander from NENGUN come in english or japanese?

ed Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I remember reading on here about 3mths ago that Mr Nengun himself said that replacement ECU's are classed as "(something)" which doesn't incur any import taxes. The tariff code that nengun references is 9032.89.80 http://www.apectariff.org/tdb.cgi/ff3235/a...ind.cgi?AU+9032 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/54302-upgrading-to-power-fc-need-advise/page/2/#findComment-1064575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

performance-wise Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 decided to buy the system from nengun - total cost with delivery approx. $1100AUD. Thanx for all the advise guys - saved myself a couple of hundred dollars. Can now look into a better boost control.
