Still working after 20k, so cheap investment. I softened the tune timing slightly (deleted high octane map for now.. will revisit later)

The mid range power increase is well worth it... and I'm sure we gain a little bit of bonnet clearance with a smaller pulley as well! :mrgreen:

Cheers :driving:

Just curious, do L67 have a MAT sensor? if so where is it located?
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.

No, Seems they did away with it and went with the IAT in the airbox.

And its generally known that only the VS L67s have two coolant sensors.
One for the dash, one for the ecu.

No, but's a common modification to fit one in the LIM.

@immortality... It looks like that LIM is modified for a GenV Eaton?

I'll let you know shortly when I have my MAT sensor fitted (just need to tap a thread to suit sensor).
