but how safe is it to drive that far with a tdo4 kit on a forged engine on the standard ecu
perfectly fine
i got my fuelling checked etc as it was gonna be a while before mapping, and all was hunky dory, even at full chat.
you have nothing to worry about, just dont boost any more than 0.7bar
also have you thought about travelling down south?
there is fctuner in london he is supposed to be good,
or i can let you know about the guy who is going to tune my car, i'll let you know how i get on with him.
