Is your pod housed or open in the engine bay?

Faulty map sensor or map sensor hose.

Seems like you have changed everything else but that.

pod is just under the bar agets forced air .. have had it in the bay and didnt make any difference .. map sensor was changed before i brought the car which was 2 1/2 , 3 yr ago .. i know you cant always believe everything you hear nor see but i took his word for it he had a recept for it .. could the ecu chip bugger the map sensor the chip in it , is to make the comp think that is always sucking cold air

Just because the map sensor was changed a while back, doesn't mean it hasnt gone faulty since. Or even the hose to it has cracked.

The chip could be the cause of the problem. Do a search, someone else was having a similar issue very recently, and turned out to be the add on chip was faulty.

just out of interest, when you changed all your pistons, rings, rods etc, did u get stronger internals? or just stock gear. Cause if you did, you would have an engine capable of handling a decent amount of boost. :)

Maybe put the standard panel filter in the box back in. If the air temp sensor isn't working well and the pod is sucking in hot air, the car might be running a bit rich.

I`ll second that. I went from 600k to 350k per tank overnight because of a crappy $1 piece of hose :shock:

*smiley* to what you said about the pod .. thats why the chip is in it so it tells the comp that its sucking cold air , but for sure will give it a go mate .. but i am going to put the pod behind the bar this time cause i wanna put the ac compressor back in :) .. i took it out so i could put the pod straight down hehe ... it worked :s
