The first thing to check out about the Profec e-01 is the box and all the stuff they crammed into it. If you would like to check out some more pictures check out Mohd's e-01 Photos. I purchased my e-01 (and my e-Manage) from him. He's a great guy to deal with. Excellent service, great prices, and very quick shipping (if the items are in stock of course.) Check out his website at www.mohdparts.com if you're in need of an e-Manage, e-01, or any performance parts really. The first thing anyone should notice about the Profec e-01 is, "Holy Crap...that's a lotta parts." They seem to include just about everything you need to hook it up. I did notice that unlike Profec B and A, the e-01 does NOT include any sort of inline vacuum filters for the stepping motor or the pressure sensor. I reused the filters from t he Profec-A, and have seen no ill effects as of yet. Another minor annoyance is if you have an e-Manage and you want to hook the Profec e-01 to it (of course you do, why else would you of dropped $500 on this thing?!?!) you'll need to hit up a local computer shop, or even Wal-Mart, and get a standard USB cable to hook the two together. The next two pictures are of the solenoid valve and the boost pressure sensor that were included with the Profec e-01. The big difference of this solenoid vs. the Profec-A is size. It's a good
bit smaller then the Profec-A's solenoid, and it is EXTREMELY smaller then
the Profec B's. However it's going to take up as much space as the Profec
A's, because the boost sensor is separate and not built in like the Profec
A's solenoid. The solenoid was a cinch to hook up with a configuration very
similar to the Profec-A. The hose barbs come in a plastic bag and you'll
need a 10mm wrench to install them to the valve. Make sure they are tight so
you won't develop a boost leak or get poor performance from this unit
because you've got a leaking hose barb. They are already precoated with what
appears to be a Teflon dip, so no Teflon tape should be necessary. The "COM"
line should hook to the wastegate actuator and the "NO" line should hook to
the turbo compressor housing if you're running the stock turbo, or even an upgraded CT-26, on a MKIII.
The boost sensor has a warning in the instruction manual that the electrical
connector MUST point downward. I am unsure if this is a dirt or moisture
issue from GReddy. To accommodate I mounted it on the slope below the IC
pipes next to the air filter (pictured above.) The instruction manuals for
the Profec B, A, and e-01 want you to tap for boost pressure near the FPR,
however mine is tapped in the same vacuum line as the heater VSV and that's
where I get my signal from. It worked fine on my A and e-01. Take it easy! (It's a GReddy thing...), Dave |
