As long as i put a small plug in for the mag PERFORMANCE TUNER - though dont think i really need to as its one of the few last good mags left out there!
Here is the pdf of the komo-tec exige article from Febs issue of performance tuner for those of you interested in the conversion.
I have done 10,000 road miles since the conversion, had th first service a while back and absolutely no problems to speak of - hardly used any oil, is fitted with a moroso oil pan as well as the extra performance could fuel oil starvation otherwise- i feel the pan is a sensible option.
The fuel comsupmtion has actually got even better which surprised me ! And the car drives so much like a factory car it is easy forget that it is tuned apart from the massive pace.
For those of you worried about warranty problems , i have had the car in for the shocks to be changed, gearbox problems and all sorts of niggles and even though they are fully aware of the conversion have been totally supportive and all work as been carried out without even issue.
Im sure if there was problems due to the install that would be another matter- but as the boost remains the same and t engine is just running more efficiently this is not going to happen.
The local lotus dealer even swapped the ecu for the komo-tec version 2 ecu for me when the car was in!
Anyway feel free to U2U me if you want more info on the kit or looking for a demo.
Nice to see us lotus guys up north getting some press
