| Question:
I have a Vauxhall Astra MK2 turbo, can I install a TP208 kit on my C20LET
engine?
Answer: The TP208 kit could be used on an LET engine with our MBE9A4 ECU & an off the self LM9A4-FWD wiring harness with additional Boost sensor and Amal Valve with add in adaptor harness. It would then need to have rolling road time or dyno for mapping. The TP208 kit or throttle bodies included in the kit are only really worth fitting to the turbo engine once the engine has already been highly tuned. You would also require to have made a custom air box in order to contain the pressure before it is passed into the throttle bodies themselves Links: 2.0L Taper throttle body kits | MBE9A4 ECU |

| Question:
Is it possible to use one of your kits on a road car? I drive an Astra GSI
16v 2.0L with a 20xe engine in it and was wondering if your kits could be
applied to my car with a Calibra turbo 6 speed box converted to front wheel
drive?
Answer: There is no reason why most of the kits could not be fitted to your engine. The only problem that usually occurs as the output is increased, is that the gear ratios become unsuitable due to the fact that the engine will rev higher. For example, a 6 speed turbo box is normally designed for an engine that revs to 5,500 rpm where a 250 engine, could easily rev to 8,500 rpm.

| Question:
I have an Vauxhall Astra Mk 2 with a 20Xe engine and a SBD 196 kit, I was
told that the 912/v2a MBE system from the old kit is now outdated. Which
system do I have to use now and can the custom loom be used with the new
box
Answer: The new type of ECU is the 967E, if you look on the web site under Management systems, full details are shown there. You can either replace the original 912 loom or if the loom is in perfect condition we produce an adaptor loom available to allow your 912 loom to fit the new ECU.
