cheers dave :D , no in the experience i have had people upgrade to zvh as it IS stronger but you still have the weak points of the cvh ie the head so its idea for people who wanna run around 200-250 bhp...

but for people wanting more than that full zetec is the way, as just upping the boost on a zvh will bring out the weak points and you'll get problems... :wink:

and the interior will be awesome trust :wink: :D

Nice!

How does that boost controller work then (is it like a bleed valve or does it do something else?).

How does that work with launch control FezzR? (I mean - does it just progressively increase the boost when you launch in first gear or does it actually do anything else?).

Adam - use Macro mode on your camera and try and take the pic in daylight (to reduce glare by using flash) :p

Good stuff - look forward to seeing your car at the shows later this year :)

Cheers,

Andy

the controller is basically a very complex bleed valve...... it hooks up with your ecu and interacts with everything and they work together to get the best out of the car.... :wink:

i chose this make as my bro has one and it has made a huge improvement on his any many others so i went down the same road too... :D :D

andy the launch control is an ecu function on select models not a boost controller function, although it probably does have some influence on the boost at the same time

If you put a Lambo door on it I'll kill you! I'm guessing an interesting type of door latch operation ;) Looking great Ad :)
