Interesting. Do you know what changes the tuner made at all in regards to making it easier to start?

Probably made the first part of the fuel map really rich to get it fired up then backs off the fuel once its at idle. Thats how the ecu in my Supra was going to be setup for coldstart as my ecu cant use the factory coldstart injector or idle control valve.

Not sure what he done but the tune was done from scratch He wasn't happy with the tune in it so he redone the lot He hasn't really spent any time on the cold start either as the car hasn't been left there overnight so it was cold But he will happily come around foc to do the cold start if it needs tweaking

I think it's all in how there setup U have to make sure the drain fitting is cut down so it won't bottom out in the centre which means the oil won't drain out Also need to run restrictorsvin the feed line so it doesn't get to much oil Mark also told me to make sure the water lines are hooked up the right way, this was fir the 2j, not sure on other motors So far my turbo has performed very well n will c how it goes this week with more boost
