(turbo timer) i ran my turbo with no water only oil for 3 years, pulled it down and there was no issues at all with it.

Can anybody help me with this. 1?) Does the FLASHER UNIT NEED the WINDSCREEN MOD. to run properly??? 2?) The FLASHER UNIT has a BLACK AND WHITE wire coming from it. This wire goes To SPEED SENSOR AND NEUTRAL SWITCH. 3?) Does anybody know what this wire is for??? Is it a 12V+ supply. Or a Earth. Wouldnt be a signal wire would it???? 4?)Can Anyone also tell me why the SPEED SENSOR goes to the WINDSCREEN MOD. If i have no luck from there I will have to plug in the original loom again and hit it with the multi meter. Any Ideas????????????? CHEERS

What does it mean when the pointer thingy on the tacho jumps around? Eg, I was going up a pretty steep hill today and had it in PWR mode and the tacho kept jumping between 3500-4500 revs but the motor sounded like it was gaining revs as opposed to loosing and gaining revs. WTF? I dont know if that makes any sense? Maybe its just a faulty tacho?

You can usually get a complete distributor for about $30 on trademe, seen a few for $90 (don't know if they ever sold) but the last one I picked up I got for $1! I felt kind of dirty giving the guy $1, he must've been pissed off that no one else bid.. picked it up on my way back from the brock cruise last year Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
