Al,
I cant wait til you tune my IX. I have had the car for one month and it begs for more power. I just cant make up my mind in regards to which TBE/intake combo I wanna go with. Any recommendations.

Reflash the ECU only

Datalog the results when doing multiple runs with equal cool downs down the 1/4 mile (timing, knock, A/F, etc.)
Then you could each install an identical Turboback exhaust, reflash again, datalog the 1/4 mile, and run the 1/4 mile
Report the final results

Works, Dynoflash and Vishnu could all participate. I think this would be wonderful PR for everyone involved and settle alot of the bickering I see going back and forth with some tuners.

I would buy that magazine in a heartbeat!

Let me know when its on sale!

Is this with the Evo 9 stock turbo or Buschur's Evo 9 20G. How do you think a 35R would do on this set-up?

The reason I ask is, it's my brief understanding that the MIVEC system can assist in spooling larger turbos faster, and I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
