its not worth being lazy... invest in an engine management sytems the greddy emanage or aem f/ic...

ever since i was tuned... the car has been running hella better, smoother acceleration, no more of my bumper turning black, gas mileage has incresed or at least its back to normal as if i was still N/A...
black smoke is bad but it desnt mean gas milage and whatnot

white smoke is gas

Our FIC map is decent, so I was told by a few people.

I know a guy in my area who was running a ZPI stage 0 and after 5 months he blew a head gasket after autocrossing his car. I told him he should upgraded to a stage 1 as soon as possible but no, he said everyone on the interent didn't have any problems running with no fuel management or intercooler.

Pretty good.... Friend of mine is running that beast you set me up with a year ago. He ditched his turbonetics kit the second I said 1/2 price. I might need to talk to you about engine packages, buddy wants to build the bottom end. PM me if you get a chance.

Rob, tell him to be a man and up the boost! JK.

My Turbonetics kit is still running strong on the stock tune. I took the car to have a tune done and the AFR's were almost perfect, just a little rich on the low end which is fine with me. In fact I told them to wait on the tune till I have a larger turbo. Hopefully I will be ordering one soon from Dezod.

My tnetics kit did not need a retune. I ordered the Tnetics kit on a Tuesday and had it delivered and installed myself before Sunday along with a boost and afr gauge. Before that the biggest job I did on a car was replace brake pads. I also installed a manual boost controller and regapped the plugs to .035 then set the boost to 9PSI. Tune was great with a AFR between 11 and 12. Have not had to mess with it for about 1.5 years now. Not everyone want to dick around for a half a year waiting for there sheet as well as having to retune emange garbage all the time especially on a fwd car that will see never any traction above 300whp on the street.
