What do you mean by tuning it? Did you get the ecu chipped?

Garlock EPROM is on order but for now it has had;

- New pod filter
- New oil/filter
- Remove/clean/refit Idle Stabilising Valve (was filthy) with upper cylinder cleaner
- Clean vacuum runner in the manifold with upper cylinder cleaner
- Replace perished vacuum lines
- Clean throttle body
- Adjust accelerator cable tension
- Remove/clean/refit distributor cap

So when the EPROM comes we will also replace the lambda probe.

Looking for more low end power (did a TLGP with Liam's GTI on the weekend and it was almost neck and neck!! I expected it to be a bit faster)

Subtle lows and decent shocks about to appear!

I haven't heard of this Garlock ECU remap before, where can I find info on it? What gains are found on a totally stock ABF? Or is it a waste of time with out exhaust / intake cam etc

This is like a secret chip. Hardly anyone speaking English have tested them but search google and do some translating and it will reveal some info. In short I'm buying it on spec, no idea if its going to do much but am considering a dyno beforehand and after to get some real numbers and more tuning data.

Our car has stock exhaust but allegedly dual KR exhaust cams, and I've put an adjustable cam gear on for advance.
