Lets see, where to start...today was a pretty damn epic day. I honestly don't think I've been this excited about car stuff in a LONG time.
Quick back story:
Ever since I got GheyrodX tuned back in July I haven't been real happy with it. It drove really well, perfectly smooth, etc., but it was really down on power (especially torque) compared to where it "should" be. What really made that apparent and when I realized I needed to do something is at the NTEC dyno-day last month; my car was getting owned by even basic stock intake/stock catback X's. AFR's were spot on, it took a little timing but not much, and I was just sick of dicking with it.
Last weekend we got the MAP FMIC installed, but today was the big day. First I started it off by installing a Grimspeed 3-port BCS then limped it to Cobb Tuning staying out of boost the best I could.
Today's plan:
1. Completely retune the car with an Accessport
2. Install MAP o2 eliminator downpipe
3. Retune again for hard back-to-back data on the downpipe
1. Prior tune (stock FMIC w/MBC) vs. Cobb tune (MAP FMIC w/3-port):
2. Downpipe install (please note the care they took, covered everything possible to prevent scratching or damage):
3. Stock o2 housing & downpipe vs. MAP o2 eliminator downpipe:
SOLID GAINS!!! To those who say they're worthless on stock turbo/pump gas setups...eat it
