been right throught the thread and didnt find it, not that it matters much.

Trying to bring this back on topic wasnt the origonal plan that a pro was playing with a members car, and once this had been done may fiddle with others?

If so I would be very interested in having them do some work on her because frankly re-tuning my ECU is a bit out of my league (probably) so Id rather get a pro to do it.

The way I look at it my cars had a different AFM fitted (Z32 I think) so the AFM curve is way out meaning Im over fueling like a good'n. This is ok on full boost, but it sucks on motorways at 3000rpm with -15 PSI as it gives me naff all MPG. Therefore its worth spending some real money to have this problem addressed, I'll get it back in fuel in no time.

Its currently over 22p per mile in fuel. If I can get that down to 18p thats £600 per year saving, so this is worth looking at. By bluebird on the same engine was 14p (29MPG), this car shouldnt be that much worse, in theory it could be better.

if you post up the number on the black box on the AFM, it should give the answer in FAST years an models the AFM is from.

i have FAST so if you post it up, ill look it up for you.

i think its a long number with a dash in the middle.

I have a copy of the emerald ecu software and am currently learning how to map the thing and also have access to a rolling road at the moment.

Are you running Emerald then?

Emerald system is the easiest to get to grips with. Dave Walker doesn't mind sharing knowledge, so you'll learn alot from his website.

Have a look at the Omex and DTA systems and compare how they do things differently
