Just ask Roadrunner who saw her car not that long ago, she's so far behind on her updates it's ridiculous!

When NitroDann had his workshop about 48seconds away from my house, I saw it a bit

I won't spoil the story, I'll let Emily tell it in her own time. It's worth the wait :wink:

Yup, these are about 75% of the issues I've had, except mine have been spread between half a dozen people who've let me down rather than just one. In my defence, it was because I ended up having to try to find one person who I could trust to do the work properly. In their defence ......... ......... nope, there's nothing to say in their defence.

The damn alternator regulation is what is so hard with NBs. Takes a lot of tuner patience (thanks Dann

)

Not surprised about the alternator hassles.

Alternator control has always been an issue with NBs; some guys even switched their NB alternators to NA alternators to work around this.

Adaptronic ECUs now have alternator input which makes tuning NBs a LOT easier - this caused me hours of grief with my Adaptronic Gen1 e440 ECU (piggyback version) that didn't have it vs the current generation e440 (standalone). For DIYers, IMO, this alone is worth choosing the Adaptronic ECU over other ECUs.

Why would you not just swap to a NA8 Alternator if it is that big of an issue?

Latest ms3 gear has full support for NB alternator in the software. Reports are that it works with zero issues.
