i realy hate these threads :P

22... $3200/yr... :(

btw everyone, remember if you got illegal mods like a boost controller or a bov and you have an accident just cars wont pay you out a cent.

True?? I'm going to read up my policy on that one. Seems stupid if they're willing to list it as a mod and not cover you.

When i took out my policy they said that they wont cover you if you FAIL to notify them of mods (eg: bov, turbo, suspension etc..). As long as you keep them updated it should be fine.

No the mods that are on the car also have to be legal, (ie your bov can't vent to atmo etc). I have a fried who works for an assesor, and basically he said that they're pretty lacked about basic mods like that, its illegal ones like: Having no cat, or mods which are illegal and downright dangerous like cut springs, or putting your rolling diametre out by 4 cm's without recalibrating your speedo, that they are concerned about.

I was also under that impression.. but i called them up to double check (i was having this same discussion with someone a few weeks ago)

they say they will cover you... but if you read there terms and conditions it ses

if you have anything illegal fitted to your car you will not be covered.

I told them about my safc/boost controller and they charged me the extra $40 or $50..... then when i asked them if im covered they said its my responsibility to make sure nothing illegal is fitted to the car... they clearly said 'no you wont be covered'

its an insurance company... there going to be looking for any excuse not to pay you..... Maybe its abit more strict in victoria or something... but i reckon all you guys should ring up and double check, cause there terms and conditions policy overrule your policy.

yeah but all they need is 1 little excuse not to pay you... lets say you have an illegal bov...

option a) they can be nice and pay you out evan if though they dont legaly have to

option B) they can stick to there terms and conditions and pay you nothing :P

    • 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.
    • 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)?
