Help. V6 AW11 guys. Tacho work.

Post by Mr-Paulio »

Hey guys,
Anyone out there with a V6 AW11. Can you tell me what needs to happen to have the stock tacho read correctly?
Anyone done it?
The theory of this escapes me. And Google is no help unless it's a SW.
Obviously it's getting six signals now instead of 4 so reading 33.3% higher. But how can you correct this?
Cheers in advance! :D

Boosted cars are like hot women.
A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.

Not specifically. Although I did stubble across their work while googling. And they said they send the tachos away for AW11s. But no further info than that. Will try more research on this link. When the bloody thing let's me register!! :x grr
Thanks!
