my power fc is locked/password protected whatever, would a tuner be able to unlock it does anyone know?

You need a Datalogit to unlock it. Yes a tuner might be able to unlock it if they've got the smarts.

never seen a 'kit' before mate , most people use stereo (0 or 4 guage) cable (there is probably better cable you can use? ) , and run it from wherever the + battery terminal under the bonnet leads to, then earth to the body somewhere in the boot then buy a marine battery box and house the battery in that :) (just remember the battery has to vent outside the car to be road legal)

Thanks guys.

Haha I'm the sort of person that whenever I play electician, I leave the shed with tingles lol. I can do a little bit. Once I find where the +battery terminal leads to and mounts, I can run the cable and hook it up into the battery leads ok. How do you go about securing it in the boot so it doesn't roll around? Otherwise it not bolted down but it secure positioned in the footwell behind my drivers seat :laugh:

Most of the stuff you need you should be able to find at a campervan/trailer place or auto electrician joint will sell the parts.

You'll need the biggest cable you can afford (up to 0 gauge) 4ga as a minimum. Don't use car audio cable, use something with thicker strands in the windings.

6-7m of + cable

2m of - cable (must be the same size cable or bigger)

Insulated mountable terminal post

Crimp on ring terminals (once the cable is cut to length, get somone to crinp them on the cable for you)

Heatshrink (thick stuff with glue inside)

Battery terminals

Battery tray

Battery tie down

Battery box

Make shure you sand back to bare metal any earth points on the chassis. Any terminals on the cables have to be crimped on correctly. Try and consolidate the + feeds onto the + post in the engine bay.

Have fun

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
