Yes, as Nick says, it won't give more power, it's only there to keep the vacuum in every situation. If engine dies or if you drive with the toe/heel style with boost up in long distances haha.

Yesturday night I experienced for first time a non start situation when I was leaving from work. Didn't even try to fire on, cranked good though. I was suspecting the hall sender, but had to leave te car for the night. In the morning I took a trigger log with Vemstune and everything was good, all triggers working normal. Now I could smell fuel, so there was no spark. Measured the coils and signal was ok, but the 12V power feed was dead. The power is coming directly from the alternator with a thick wire and there is a 80A relay operated from the orginal coil power feed. Seemd that the relay was dead. Jumped the wires and voilà, engine fired up. So I fitted a new relay. A little bit strange though, why a 80A relay melted the tip off? Maybe just china quality..?

it cant give you extra power,only more back-up by engine fail

[AndyP]

Do you find that having the vacuum resevoir gives you any extra braking power or does it just give you some back-up if the engine fails?

[Thuppu]

Nice vid Nick! Must take something similar when I remove the cat, don't want to melt it.

Henkjan, whaaat haha? I have been using this daily

Got the Vems launch control working today. I'm not very good with electrics, but EFI express had a nice tutorial of how to do it, so can't go wrong there: http://www.efiexpress.com/catalog/ar...articles_id=12

It's now activated by the clutch pedal and it has an external on/off switch. Strange though I had to use channel 5 for my setup, not channel 7 as usual on AAN Vems. But anyway it now works.

No, I didn't paint it, it was orrange colored from ebay. Smells quite bad though.

[quattro-nick]

Did you use the same paint as the valve cover thomas? That will be fun at the first test drive

[Thuppu]

Just wanted clear look and something different. No problem to fill up without it. The breather outlet is just a dummy hole without anything fancy.

A couple of showoff shots before the color burns away from the exhaust wrap.

Looks good Thuppu, but why blinded the oil cap? That breather outlet its just and hose end or something more difficult system which is inside cover?
