Dezod Black Box Review!!!
First I would like to say thanks everyone at dezod and eespecially Joe at dezod west for all their help and supprot. Now for the meat and potatos:
I install the black box yesterday being that i have the e-mange basic.
Install was a breeze seeing as ryan (satoman44) my friend and personal mechanic had one in his car so it took roughly 15 mins after finding the correct ECU pin outs.
Right after installation it seemed as though it wasnt working partial throttle boosting and coming into absolute pressure not seeing a dramatic difference in AFR's, and for some od reason the car was running a little rough.. i know made no sense to me too as the black box and the e-manage basic unit itself doesnt even touch the idle.
pulled over and unplugged the neg terminal of the battery and ryan is driving my car now.. Perfection! Car drives great now not having to either slam the pedal to the floor or apply minimal throttle pressure.
Once reaching absolute pressure and entering boost immediate and smooth afr readings were right there to prove its worth pound for pound.
rating on difficulty of instal: 3 out of 10
ability to adjust partial throttle tune: 9 out of 10 (comes with the software disc), that 9 is based in the fact that i havent used it but the ability is there if need be)
user friendly: 10 out of 10 (PnP tune up to 8psi, its like magic!)
results: 10 out of 10
My suggestion is anyone with a e-manage basic to get this unit! you will not be dissapointed!
yet again dezod impresses me beyond expectation! Keep all the hottness coming!
oh and before i forget, i live in hawaii and it was here in two days!! talk about shipping!
much thanks again dezod team!!

I sold it to you! Joe at Dezod West! Lol!!!
I even called you on it last time when you said you spoke with Paul on the phone but it was me!
We all help. Paul, Enrique, and myself will all provide a great customer experience. Your purchase and dialogue you had about the black box was all done with me at Dezod West.
