    Looking into fitting traction control via my MS ecu, not to apply the brakes, just to cut ignition to limit power.

    I need to get hold of some wheel speed sensors and rings from an abs car, did g60`s have ABS (could use the rear setup) and anyone any ideas for the front? rnning mk4 V5 288 brakes.

    Anyone else fitted TC to a mk2 valver?

    Cheers [:D]

    Cheers guys, do the speed sensors fit onto the carriers?

    MS1 may be able to lock the Haldex on or off, MS2 and the GPIO board uses CAN so you may be able to knock up an interface for the Haldex?

    Wouldn`t be hard to tweak MS1`s traction control to fire an output high when wheel slip is detected to lock the dif, just a few lines of code I would have thought.

    That sounds very promising news, I have the V3 ECU so going well it might just do the Job.

    the Seat toledo has ABS sensors if you find the G60 ones thin on the ground.

    all G60 powered mk2s had ABS, so u want those sensors,

    if i can get the sensors off mine you can have them for postage cost (ABS is gone to make way for a fully adjustable tilton pedal box)
