Yeah now worries, i was really just questionin the need for the mixture trim if he went through and tuned the whole lot. Just been speaking to a few workshops lately and the popular concesus is that mixture trim isnt a good idea. Im not having a dig at all dont get me wrong, just interested in the timin/duration/pulse of your injectors especially at idle etc coz as i said we struck initial troubles with the microtech unable to control them. Also what have u done as far as blankin off the exhaust plugs ( did u grind them down flat or anything as i was told at higher rpms and boost etc they lead to pinging as they get to a temperature where they ignite the fuel again. So i went out chasing blanks but no one stocks 14mm 1.25s so i guess ill have to grind down the plug electrodes. Sorry for the novel just interested in getting a few opinions and you seem to be getting good results from the z18 so far. regards chris
