I have 2 ECU's here. One with the standard chips and one with the uprated MAP sensor and 1.4bar chip set to match the charge cooler charatcteristics. They both do exactly the same thing whether left connected for 60miles or not. Hopefully I can get it to Tims and its a simple sensor fault though since I have replaced all sensors now it is unlikely.
Like to think its oil in the exhaust too but the downpipe although black from the refurb turbo failure showed no oiley stains where oil might have run down unlike the outside of the turbo.(see attached), Also only get the smoke on applying power after standing for 10mins or so or had it once after backing off during an overtake manoeuvre. Very inconsistent at moment.
