its looks good i wonder if they would do a deal for a couple of us to be guinea pigs for them on this side of the world...



ringram what do u think of it

[ringram]

Not sure about this comment "The actual measured intake temp was consistently lower than ambient by 2-3deg F."
But the Yanks seem to like it. Ive seen a few posts about it with dyno results and it look ok.
Good price too. Probably worth trying out... without the MUF

whats the story with getting a maffless tune who will do it and is it as simple as sending the ecu to a tuner hence im in ireland or do they need the car

Mail order tunes will only ever be a baseline. They can be close, but will leave power on the table. If you have some means of logging and tuning you can get them to send you tune updates based on the logs. Some US guys will supply tunes for $75 USD!

I like the looks of it but wonder if it will fit to the SC? Im out there in May so might look to bring it back second hand like...

Where does the blower leave the throttle mate? If its in the stock position it should be fine, Ive seen Oz blokes running otrcai's with their blowers ok.

so on that where would u shop for a mail order tune or what would u do

[ringram]

If I didnt have one Id be tempted to try it and tune it myself

Otherwise you can try a mailorder jobbie. Ill PM you a US dude's info who can sell you a spare ECU with the tune for about $150 all up IIRC.
