Or if you're wanting paint made up, simply take the gas flap into a paint shop and they should be able to colour match it, or even tell you the colour.

I would place another gauge direct,And see if that gauge is correct(or sender).But pressure at 1850 rpm is 274kpa(hot)and above that is good.But your oil bypass should be about 69kpa. Cheers Marty ps about 40 psi and 10 psi for the bypass valve

Use a mechanical one,(Pump in an oil line to check)Cost about 15 bucks from Repco,Just an easy way to check if all is well. Cheers Marty

depends what power you wanting to get. i ran a vl n/a ecu chipped to vlt spec and it ran idenical to the factory vlt ecu i also had. be limited to what you can do then though-200kw max. thats just cheap way of doing it. if you want to do up grades along the way once boost bug hits then go straight to aftermarket ecu. just my 2 cents. good luck
