Primary jet 123 + secondary jet 170 works good with super E5 petrol. Nikki works economical and produce enough low torque with the 12A full bridge port for me. Sound is perfect as you can hear on youtube. Test´s with super E10 petrol was shit, I don´t try it again. Fuel pump serie 3 is to small above 8500U/min.

Hi Thomas - I've just read this entire thread and was absolutely fascinated at what you have done and more specifically to the level of quality that you have achieved. To try and put my thoughts into one word, well ........ BRILLIANT !

Awesome W(p Aren't brand new cars supposed to look this good ?
