another happy rtek 1.7 user
mods in sig .
im diggin it .. quick turn around and putting it back in was a snap
wiring in the resistors was easier done than said ...
im not good at soldering , but i did a decent job on the solder ... made extra sure they were good, cause thats a bad place to have a wire come loose
still have good power all is well ..
except i still have my hard start issues ... i assume its flooding ... my injectors were cleaned and blueprinted prior to installation .. i assumed that would fix the issue, but alas .. its still a bitch to start up .....
the temp guage all of a sudden started reader more acurately .... it usually NEVER went above 1/8th on the guage, however all day yesterday once it was warm it read at 1/4 which is normal ...
not sure what to make of that ...
im also not boosting 10psi like i was before the install ... not sure why that is, but now im peaking out at 7 or so psi .. i guess its time for a MBC ...
all in all though i would recommend it ...
now if i can just solve my hard starting issues ...

Since you've got those 720cc secondaries, you're probably running a lot richer, causing your 'natural' max boost to be lower.
Search for MBC install, or something of that sort and build your own for like $10. I built my own and it worked great for the stock turbo.
How long did it take from when you shipped out your ECU, to when you got it back?

The 1.7 you could only get by sending in your ECU, vice option of DIY. Are you sure you got the 1.7 and not the 1.5?
Erikseven -> I sent my ECU away the day after I ordered my injectors. I got my ECU back before the injectors arrived. They had if for less than 24 hours.

yeah they had my ecu for less than 24 hours as well ... the part that took the most was me shipping it to them .. i think that took like 3 days ...
they got it , chipped it, and shipped it out the same day ...
im sure they gave me the 1.7 ... there was a HUGE warning on the packaging that says YOU MUST RUN 720 SECONDARIES .. ya da ya da ...
p.s.
erik ... how well has your MBC stood up .. i hear that they may wear out easily?
