Knowledge is power. I will end the convo with that.

You can do what you want. It's your car. Your investment. You will be the only one to blame for when something goes wrong or something goes right.

Little worth-while reading for you.

Turbo tC with an AEM F/IC running 14 psi and making 311 whp. it gets the job done.

Odd place to end the convo since I was asking which one of your products i should purchase...

You said not having an intercooler was a problem, but my car does have an intercooler. Does that mean I can do a piggyback for now? The standalone is over a grand more so if its really not necessary then I would rather not spend that kind of money.

paul_dezod

It's not ended. I am merely making you educate yourself on the products because again at the end of the day, if it where my personal car, I would go standalone regardless of cost because I know at that point, what I enter is what I get and I can set all types of thresholds for safety.

Sounds good man, I was just confused by your response.

I talked to a few other users that said a standalone would be the way to go, so standalone it is!

Do you guys ever run any specials on them by any chance?

paul_dezod

Honestly, no. Too much goes into them and at the current price for what you get, it's already a value.

what shop told you, they ran a tweaked TRD tune? To my knowledge no one has cracked the tC ecu. From my understanding no one has cracked Toyota ECU's, they are very secretive on their programming and the only available is what they want to be.

The first shop is the one that claimed that. They actually used to work for toyota and were the ones that originally put the TRD charger on. They claim to have some toyota equipment that allowed them to tune it, but the other shops claims that was total BS.

BlackKnight

Im almost certain it was bull. They would advertise all over the net if they could do that, considering they would be the only one.

Oh trust me, I agree. The first shop, Black Label Performance, were full of crap.

No, you do not NEED a standalone and dont let anyone tell you that you do. A piggyback such as the AEM FIC will do everything you need (including retarding the timing that you need to prevent detonation). If you have the cash and plan on continuing to upgrade to turbo,built engine or whatever, YES the Standalone is superior to a piggyback but DEFINITELY not required to run the setup you have now.

jacob81

Well, I see you went with the standalone lol Thats good, you should never have a need to upgrade now haha Good luck with it man! Wish I had the $$ to go standalone
