Hi,

If I unplug the ECU, what will be the resulting effects?

Cheers, Tim

Block the pipe that goes to it up aswell,then you will run 3psi all day..Put a switch on the bleed solinoid(the thing next to the fuel reg)and you will have switchable 3 or 7 psi

Ok thanks, but what sort of switch do you mean? An electrical on/off type patched into the live feed of the solinoid and site it inside the car?

yep just remove the plug that is on it,then one side is earth the other positive via a switch in car.Best if you get a supply for the switch from the ignition switch/fusebox..........so you cant leave it turned on

Cheers for the info...

For now I will just block off the ECU so that i'm on 3psi whilst running the engine in.

Then once I've got some more miles on it, I'll install a bleed valve or install the solenoid switch.

Thanks alot, very helpful...*happy*
