Well I guess the only thing that I would have to get prior to install would be my exhuast for the turbo.. other than that.. I think everything else is on my car already..

But couldn't you get say the Unichip or Greddy EU in place of the stock ECU?

Yea ECU tuning is no big deal, EVO's do this all the time... Why do you think Dynoflash is doing such good business...

Im not worried about the ECU tuning part, im very comfortable with it.

evos have been around alot longer then tc's, i think ecu tuning will be a huge problem

Give it time, your awfully quick to judge something that isnt even out yet.

I think with all these variables, it makes it a lot harder for me to make a choice of which turbo kit to get. I guess the main thing for me is having to wait it out.. I want BOOST!

look at the amount of unichip tuners, limited. now put something new on the market, gonna be limited, least for a couple years.

Man, EVO's have been around longer than tC's??! NO WAY!!



ecu tuning will not be a huge problem. i'm not too worried about it.

evo's have been around ALOT longer then tC's, are you kidding me? keep in mind evos debuted in japan many years prior to coming to the US.

well go to school and learn how to tune UniChip, become a certified UniChip tuner and you'll be a rich man, now wouldn't you?

get a standalone or piggyback and call it a day. i said it in another thread and i'll say it again here.....

UniChip was the main reason why I did NOT go Turbonetics.

you dont say??? obviously you didnt catch my sarcasticness.....

wake up bro

Whoah! Typhoon you are somewhat right. Every injector works on the same principle. But there can be MAJOR differences between them all that would render it useless on a tC. DSM injectors do not work on the tC. The first and largest issue is the fact that they are low-impedance injectors (peak and hold type). Our tC uses high-impedance injectors (saturated type). We use top feed injectors vs side feed. We tried 4 different brands of injectors on the tC and the RCs were the only ones to fit. If you'd like to know which ones didn't work out please PM me. Oh, and all the injectors physically "fit", but the o-ring setup that goes into the intake manifold and fuel rail is different by a small amount for each brand. That being said, fuel leaks will be consistant and put your motor and yourself at great risk. RCs to me right now are the best way to go until someone finds another brand that seats properly without any modification to the rail or manifold.

GL with your quest!

You really dont need to be an authroized Unichip tuner to be able to tune a Unchip. The problem is, most tuners dont have the Flux Power Display to be able to link up with the unichip. Its not some mysterious tuning device, its gonna be very similar to tuning any other piggyback. Anyone can buy the Flux display, its about $400.

shaddup im tired

you dont have to be an authorized greddy dealer to tune an emange either, but the software is free to download and you have to ability to do it on your laptop. convient, i think yes

Simplyscion

yup very true.....BUT:
not every tuner has a laptop and neither will there customers...for a cheap used laptop your right there with the price of the Flux right?

pollup

nowadays i can honestly say that 90 percent of americans know someone with a laptop, what do you think? borrow one.. its not hard

BlkSandPrlTurbotC

whats a laptop?




oh wait.....hah yeah im using one

How many types of cars use ECU reflashes..

Subaru
Honda
Nissan
Mitsubishi
etc..

Stock ECU reflash is not a problem with those cars...why would the tC be sooo different..?
