Basic launch control setup

I'm having problems with my launch control setup on my Aircooled bug. It's the most basic setup as I have no wheel speed sensors, so I've just got a micro switch to arm it and that's it. I've definitely seen this basic setup work on a friends drag bug, but I can't get it to work on mine. Hit the swi...

Re: Vw flat four

Re: Overly fast idle

Stevie's right though - my immediate though is always electronics.

It's the bit that frightens me :roll:

I think I panicked after going agains...

Re: Overly fast idle

I was thinking it was a leak around the dump valve, but that's between the throttlebody and the chargecooler - so all before the throttlebody. I wonder if I've disrupted something http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/bazibbo/676522F2-6140-45CC-8723-12AAAF8D3843_zpsxghm6bnh.jpg Ok thanks, so as i...

Overly fast idle

Hi Guys I'm stuck with a 3000k idle, and it doesn't want to get any lower :cry: I've just fixed a few things on my loom, after discovering a mixing of sensor and standard ground, as covered in a recent post with your help. I've only just been able to test this new setup and get this all together as ...

Re: Beetle Turbo

So, a few updates... I've gone red! mainly because I was becoming more and more concerned with the swingarm beetles handling, or at least my version of it.

Re: My sensor grounds have been wrong for years!

Wow that's an easy and elegant solution Alex :D

I was stressed, thinking that there would be loads of wires to cut and join, and the paperclip idea is great too - thanks.
