Just got my ECU back for a mail in flash (I sent it out on Friday and got it back this Tuesday morning, so turn around wasn't too bad). The only mod I have is an HKS RS intake running 93 octane. I got the ECU in this morning and drove to work, so I wasn't able to play with it like I wanted to. So far the only difference I can feel is the power band is alot smoother, I can get the car up to red line very quickly. I plan on testing more after work and will report my findings. I'm hoping to feel some improved torque in the car, but I haven't really been able to hammer every gear from start to feel the reaction. I can't wait for after work to see what else this flash had gotten me .

Next up, BR turbo back exhaust and then cams.

 

I sent my ECU in to AL earlier this week and got it back yesterday (quick delivery). All I can say is holy CRAP. the car pulls soooo much harder where my head used to tilt forward (5-7k). This is the best upgrade money can buy. If you haven't been flashed yet, your missing out.

 

Is the flash as effective on 05's as it is on 03-04's
It seems like the flash gets the car running close to how the 05's run stock?

 

first time posting on here. here are my engine mods, would the dynoflash help me, or should i just get the car tuned?

K&N Typhoon Intake
Perrin Boost Pipe
Turbo XS RFL BOV w/ HKS EIDS
Walboro 255 fuel pump
Perrin Fuel Rail
3" Turbo XS Downpipe
3" Perrin Catdelete w/ cell fix
3" Turbo XS RFL Catback
Greddy Profec B Boost Controller - Spec 2 (OFF 10psi, LOW 17psi, HIGH 20psi)
Greddy Turbo Timer
SAFC - II

i have tried to lean the car out alittle with the SAFC-II but don't really know how to tune it. car runs extremely rich!
any help or advice is greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance guys!

 

Actually the results are better on the 2005 due to the better turbo on those cars

 

The flash is a vastly superior tunuing device than the SAF due to numerous reacsons - I would suggest you do a search on the subject there are dozens of threads on this subject

 

if i got the reflash, would i just set my settings to 0% on the SAFC-II or disconnect it altogether?

 

AL I have a question about the boost controlling tune, Can it change the boost level from 19 to higher without mbc?

 

It will hit about 20 psi in 4th gear and 5th gear and slightly lower in 2nd and 3rd

 

You would put the SAFC to zero

 

thanks al!

 

this ones for dynoflash just wanted to know when you guys were going to be in the southern cali

 

I am working on a trip for July 8 - 9

There is a seperate thread in my section of the forums on that trip

 

hey AL i have emailed you ...pm'd and started a thread and got no response about tuning our cars in NC toward the end of August. I know i am little head in the game right now...just wondering because if not i am going to drive the car down to top speed and have the guys down there do it...

 

hey guys, if i intend on having al do a custom tune, should i come prepared with AEM, or is safc2 sufficient?

whats recommended? thanks
