Thankfully I don’t go near built up areas.

Sounds good too

rumour has it they are identical to the standard F430 exhaust

The back-box is identical, but you will need to modify the tail pipes, and back-box mounting bracketry.

You need a late car to have a TCU that can be flashed, or you need source a 430 TCU with the right reference. These can be flashed, but its a gamble. I just spent 600 on a used 430 TCU and 600 having it flashed by Eric (AV don't flash them themselves), took it to AV for set up, the outcome was, half a mile down the road and a box of neutrals. The TCU is going back to Eric to be double checked on his car. But its possibly a faulty TCU. However, no recourse to the seller of the TCU is available after the TCU has been opened and re-flashed.

So its basically a 1200 gamble (My wife thinks it was a 300 gamble......)

Nick that’s interesting, I’m waiting to poke around and look at what the serial number on the TCU I’ve got on the incoming car, as I want to be able to connect Launch up to have access to bleed functions and relearning with out the expense of SD2.

Can you keep us updated please. Would be interested to hear the outcome as I suspect I’ll need to obtain a later TCU.

No problems. TCU will be with Eric in June and then I need to get the car back to AV

Hi Nick,
Have you got anywhere with the TCU?

[blueg33]

Hi. Yes the TCU is back with me. It’s been tested and works in the car, just needs final clutch adjustment when I take it to AV for its service.

Any noticeable difference yet?

Yes, changes are much improved even though its not set up. They are quicker and smoother. Because its not set up though I have swapped back to standard because the clutch grabs when stationary at traffic lights unless I select neutral

My advice (from personal experience…), make sure to change the cooling fluid. It’s not part of Ferrari regular maintenance checks. It gets acid and destroys the heat exchangers cooling the gearbox oil, to the point this fluid may come in the gearbox, which kills the lubrification in a few minutes, leading to damaging the pinions. $17k bill for me….
