I made this mod at 136,000 miles, I have put 10k on it with no issues. The revo brand I bought I very well engineered and doesn’t throw CEL or other lights , have had zero issues with it. I also installed a gfb dv+ at the time as well. Gives a nice turbo sound when you put the power down

Thank you for that, I’ll see can I find the diagram thanks again best off just buying a new one anyway as I know these fail anyway so would have had to splice it or replace it at some stage Thanks a lot for the info

Thanks a mil really appreciated smartest thing to do is connect at the relays then take off the connectors that connect on the tailgate itself then colour code what’s left so I know what connector it goes into. It’s only the main loom that’s confusing other two splices that are on the loom...

yes it sucks for sure I’m gonna try join up the 6 small white wires tomorrow as a last ditch attempt, I’ve now also noticed that the high level brake light ain’t working either even though I crimped the two cables back on all as a result of installing jom led, I had to run the extra wires...

Hi I have an issue where I had to install a new rubber. Grommet in the tailgate left side, I cut the wires from the harness in order to get new grommet on. I colour coded cables both side of the cut and taped off the piece I had to pull through the grommet. my colour codings came off when...

Thanks for the links , I’m talking to the guy in video 1 on YouTube and see can I get some insight , guy in video 2 I have no idea how they wired from the rear of the tailoght there is no holes that would allow them to pass through might end up cutting all the cableslocated under the grommet...

Thanks so much for the reply, I’ve ordered replacement part as I know now that the clip on the grommet has to come off a certain way which I think the part of the clip broke somehow when taking it off , when replacement comes maybe I will cut the wires in the grommet and put them back together...

Thanks a mil much appreciated ?

Thanks a mil for that much appreciated so if I changed from the stock wheel the option I have for team dynamics pro race wheel is 8 inch width and offset of 45 so I think the only difference is half inch more width and lose 6 on the offset versus standard monza wheel, presume that would be ok?

Hi, So I think my cat is shot , I’m getting rattled from it when accelerating, and also can hear it rattle when going over a bump. In the case that I do replace it with oem cat, if I get a 3” catback system is there any pitfalls of doing same. I’m not intending to go stage 2 so if I would...

Hi , Looking for opinions , getting a repeated thud noise when cornering tightly (roundabouts for instance) 2x CV joints and boots done 2 weeks ago as was getting some clicking noises previously so I know they are not bad. The subframe spacers were also done at the time as well. Any ideas of...
