Did the car feel any faster or just ur engine bay look better now?

 

Can't say if it's faster, probably not, the RA turbo is pretty well fed by the stock system, and is probably too small to really make use of this thing... not to mention driving it hard would be a bad idea with it leaning the car out so much. This is the last step between me and a RAD Lite. That should happen before the end of the year.

 

Cool, let me know how rad goes, pm me the price. Curious.

 

12.1 is a better state of tune that 10.2:1. 10's will run cool, but are no where near ideal for a power/efficient medium. GST maps are base maps, so a smart and reliable start. Further tuning should be done to get your specific car where it wants to be. I think idealy, high 11's are perfect to stay safe and get a decent return in power, but 12.1 is not too lean at wot. 10.2 is to rich.

What are your cruising a/f's? Thanks for posting btw. That excellent info.

 

will this work with the evo x turbo upgrade?

 

if you were going for the evo x upgrade, go the x aem intake along with either the battery relocation or a smaller one

 

after installing the intake i got p0133 cel, which is o2 sensor low circuit. im not sure if its related to the intake and not having a tune or what but i took it to the dealership since im friends with service and they claimed that there is a TSB for this specific CEL and that they are supposed to reflash my ecu, i ended taking my car home cause i didnt want to lose my GST tune. anyone else get this light?

 

Ended up clearing cel and it hasn't come back. But I installed my wideband last weekend and noticed my Afrs are around 13!!!! Getting tuned ASAP!

 

Yet another car ridiculously leaned out by this intake.

 

This intake is designed for stock map, or custom tune. You can't in-between it and expect perfect results. Would you custom tune the RA turbo, then throw on an X turbo, and expect it to run perfectly...?
Seriously tho, if you look at the GST Base Map's Fuel Map and compare it to a stock tune Fuel Map, it will be pretty obvious why his car us running so lean now.

 

even with a small battery kit the airbox on the aem wont fit. so u would just have a filter. better off doin the diy if thats the case

 

I've looked at it, I just wasn't expecting it to be this lean. I'm getting a custom tune done those once I get my UR long downpipe

 

Sorry totalOwnage I didn't specify, my post was a response to EyeDreamt,I ordered the AEM intake (RA version) as part of my X-Swap. I'll post up with results, including what needs to fabricated for this to work with the X turbo.

 

I wasn't saying it isn't to be expected. There was a lot of speculation that the intake would be fine with the basemap, I was just pointing out there are now numerous examples of the fact that it isn't.

 

Ah, yes. In that regard it appears to be correct. This intake is NOT intended to be used with the GST Base Map. It WILL require a CUSTOM TUNE, or conversely a completely STOCK TUNE (as funny as that sounds).
