I guess that's another thing I'll be getting from ER.

Try bleeding your ACD pump. I had bubbles in mine and that cleared up the issue I was having at the track with the pump going into limp mode.

Doing a special for the 6 map program we offer. Only $216 shipped right now and also willing to do a second custom flash based on feedback after the end user verifies whether or not he or her is happy with the performance or not.

For now its just 3 custom maps with 3 stock maps. So the vehicle will still be able to function in stock form if need be.

There is several time attack cars running these maps and placed 1st place multiple times now.
I am confident these maps will better your track times and performance in general if you're still running the stock maps.

I have built a cable now to flash instantly, so turn around time is instant.

Picture of flashing Keith's ECU:

i'm assuming tuning ideas for this are being kept secret as opposed to other EcuFlash information? or is it more involved than just hooking up the Tactrix cable and reflashing?

Well I've had the ER tune for awhile now so I feel I can confidently give a good review on it. I have the 3 map like kyoo, however I believe the snow mode is a little more aggressive than the stock Tarmac mode.

Just for reference, I only do road course, no auto cross, and have been running stock size RS3 version 2s the entire time. Power is at about 330hp 330tq to the wheels.

Initially I was on stock suspension with a restacked stock diff. On the street the difference was night and day. Every mode made a massive difference and cornering was dramatically improved. Just dial in the oversteer you'd like. On the track the difference was not so dramatic. The car was a little more balanced but switching modes didn't seem to change much.

Fast forward a little bit and I'm running ohlins, whiteline pretty much everything, Perrin psrs with castor offset and whiteline rsb. I've now gained the same effect on the track that I initially had on the street. Just dial in the rotation with a button on the dash. I set it low on open sweeping sections and bump it up for the tighter areas where I need a little more rotation. I couldn't be happier.

In addition English Racing was awesome to deal with and really takes customer service seriously. They will be hearing from me again when it comes to beefing up the power.

I forgot to mention I also have the problem with all the lights coming on after idling long term. My acd has been bled several times since and it did not cure the issue. No big deal through. I'm not idling when it matters and a quick flick of the key fixes it.

did you check the fluid level in the reservoir when this happened? i once forgot to top my fluid off after the last round of bleeding and had the same thing happen LOL.
my fluid level differs when running compared to not, if i remember right.

Yeah it's full. I've even moved it to the trunk since so it's been bled plenty.
