From the sound of it your heat issues have been an issue for a while, can u confirm this, also has it been like that since you have had the car / fitted the gauge?

What is the temp anyway?

Stage 2 does make gear changes between 1st and 2nd quicker and stops flares etc so not a waste of money, definitely something wrong there mate, esp as the tc is not locking up anymore
Thanks mate - been getting bloody hot since the turbo went in - even wrapped the oil lines in heat shielding where they go past the dump pipe. The only change that occurred at the same time was the new coil an module on the dizzy?? Can't see how this would have anything to do with it ALTHOUGH the tacho is now all over the shop - thought the tacho runs straight from the box, so unless it sends some sort of signal to the TCU and because it's thinking it's over revving its not locking up the converter then I'm stumped ...

My plan was to play around with the TPS and see if that makes a difference? I can live with the problems as they were the same as before (want it fixed or money back of course though), but the TC not locking up has me concerned ...
