Looking great Jeff!!

cheers charlie, im sure she will be looking top notch soon as you have done her haha

n75j fitted and no limp mode, result,

my findings are

1)indeed the electrical connector is in reverse to the standead n75 valve, by fitting at the rear, but the valve is still fitted much the same, long leg to the TIP etc, the new valve has the "J" marking where the original valve has nothing

2)boost seems more aggressive now and seems to spool earlier, weather boost pressure has increased i dont know as i have no boost guage to give before and after readings

3) hard acceleration from low ish revs in all gears is significantly smoother,

4)power delivery is more progressive too,

5)throttle response, is slighty improved, as soon as you hit the go go pedal, the power is there, it also seems to make the car rev nicer on idle too, smoother.

its obviously early days and the ecu is stil to fully adjust to it and the new perameters, but after my 20 mile drive, 1/2 hard and 1/2 easy going, im liking what iv seen so far, lets hope the valve and the ecu dont grow to hating each other

hope my findings proove useful to people on here, but i must stress, these are my findings and may not be the same from engine to engine

CHEERS KENNY, FRONTS DONT FIT MATE BECAUSE OF THE SKIRTS, i tried to modify them to but failed miserably, personally, just get rears

oops, caps

rears do but 1 small drill hole is required in the rear valance (out of sight) for securing them on the underside
