Am looking around to see if its possible to get 2 maps with a switch to toggle an eco and a race mode or something (I basically just want a button that I can press to engage a full beans mode)[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't that be called the accelerator pedal

Nope defenitly a switch, if you ever drive a modern car with them in you will see what I mean

sensitivity of the accelarator, fueling, boost etc change at a switch depending how you want to drive, actually makes quite a difference. but if its going to cost too much then wouldnt bother.

Yeah I understood what you ment. Was just joking around. I sold my focus st at 300bhp because I felt a power addiction coming on. Would loved to have taken it higher but got afraid I would never stop wanting more! If I was forging with a hybrid like you I'd be considering anti lag next. Good luck look forward to the updates.

So just to update this thread and close.

Gone for K1 rods and Weisco pistons along with some Mahle race bearings for the internals. All picked up from BD performance who are now going to be doing the work on it.
