    Do you have wideband installed? (such as innovate lc1)?

    What is the spec of the engine?

    you need to map it properly before MOT and using it on the road.

    Someone on here had a similar setup (blackie?!) - he might be able to give you one of his old map files to help you out.

    You'll need a wideband to get your base map setup ASAP on the laptop so you can then drive for proper mapping.

    Could just trailer it to mapper?

    You want something like this:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INNOVATE-D...item1c371e071e

    Do your research on reliability etc. but I used one of these fine for a good while. If you're getting a mapper to map it then probably won't need one urgently.

    Get a quote online for transporting your car to the mapper.

    What's the benefits of the wideband. I'm building a turbo 106 over here in Ireland. No one over ere will map a standard ecu like Wayne in chipwizards does.

    Wideband with a gauge shows you the air fuel ratio so you know it's running right.

    Mappers target certain air fuel ratios at different loads, so the wideband aids this.

    I like having it with s gauge in my car so I can keep an eye on the ratio as if it goes wildly out then I know there's a problem and can act accordingly.
