whats this?

Postby MR2SIK » Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:37 pm

I've known that this Toms gadget has been in my car for ages but never really gave it much thought. I just happened to have my camera with me today so thought I'd take a couple of pics. But does anyone know what this is? its got no serial number or anything.

it has the 4 wires coming out of it, red, blue yellow and black. Looks like the speed cut defender shares a couple of wires. got me stumped :x

If it is Turbo SW20 most likely it is boost cut defender.

Boost cut is fuel cut, isn't it?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Well you get fuel cut after certain boost level ;). or RPM (but with RPM it is slightly different) or Speed. although he already got Speed fuel cut defender, which leaves the Boost Cut, because you cannot bypass RPM cut with a box like that.

i was thinking it was fuel cut for boost as well, but the car had the cheap fuel cut mod done to it as well (pulling off the pipe to the sensor etc)

Will try what revhead said.
