    sounds like what my mates haltech does, if it is its the coils discharging, it happens for a reason, which i cant remember. its not unusual, like a big pop down the exaust?

    thanks guys. i took it to a mate who i pretty good with car electrics and ecu's he said without actually hearing the noise that it could be because of the individual coil pack ingnition system.. firing the coils and one exhaust vale would be open + a little but of fuel = bang down through the exhuast... not biggy.. i think i'll try and find someone with a laptop to plug into to find out what the red light flashing mean... cause the mircotech handcontroller could tell me.

    cheers
