To port or not to port. That is the question!

Postby Abington » Wed 17.01.2007, 22:48

Have just fitted big bore Peco exhaust and, of course, I have over boost.The question is do I port the turbo out to 20mm first or do I fit the Elanscan chip first in order to solve the problem? Or do I just do both and have done with it?

All advice gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

I'd say you shold port the wastegate outlet of the turbo and fit the ESM chip = happy powerful Elan :burnout:

there's a number of Elanners in here with experience porting like this and they can give advice -- there's a good thread on it in here too.
