Bluespark pro + boost control review...
 
Hi all

Just thought id introduce myself with a post on a recent item I have purchased for my 2003 S60 D5 163. I've been over on the T5D5 forum for a while and must say they're a good bunch of guys but don't seem to be too interested in this item I have purchased. Anyway I hope it gets more discussion (good or bad) as I personally think its a decent bit of kit and a new breed of "cheap" tuning with the addition of boost control on a tuning box.

Anyway here's the link (sorry really CBA re-typing it all on here)

I've used a DTUK tuning box which does the same thing by increasing the pressure in the fuel rail. Definately makes a difference to performance and economy. Tried it on maximum and it was a little too lively for my liking and triggered a high fuel pressure warning.

Out of interest, how does yours seem when you've got cruise control on?

Not tried it with cruise control on TBH, how did it affect yours?

Get a slight pulsing feeling which is the unit tweaking the fuel pressure. Barely noticable but it something I seem to tune into :).

Know what you mean with tuning into every twitch the car makes, especially now with this fitted. Will give it a blast on Monday with the CC set and see how it feels, but TBH very rarely use it anyway.

Had this back from Bluespark as well, seems pretty accurate as well TBH.
