Because the AEM is more powerful than the stock ECU. It has more detailed maps and will run exactly what you want it to run. I am not saying an EMS will give you 70+whp. Usually it only gets you about 15whp or so switching from the stock ECU. All I am saying is everytime a tuner comes out w/ a product, it is presented in the best light possible. Like I said, I have just had a hunch. I got flamed for doubting the turbo in the original thread....looks like I may have actually been on the right track. Remember, this is just one dyno, but it seems to be panning out that you have to really up the boost on this sucker to get some numbers, which can also be done w/ the stock unit. We all need to just sit back and let more reflash dyno's come rolling in. No doubt someone is going to make some good numbers on the turbo, we just need to see how many.

 

Higher boost meaning over 25 psi? I don't know much ppl that would wanna run that on pump everyday.

 

Alright that's it... Im gonna take this turbo and bolt it on to my setup.. Who knows maybe they made a mistake and just sent a stock turbo

 

I run 104 oct only here in socal. would this be enough to please the rabbit?

anyone?

better take your for sale ad down

 

I'm very familiar with how my EMS works.

You obviously can make more power, torque, have better driveability(depending on who's tuning it) with an EMS. However, obtaining a peak number isn't rocket science. My point is that the tool that the flash hardware provides should be enough power to manipulate a fuel and timing map to get the numbers fairly close (at least on a fancy dyno sheet).

 

ditto.. my thoughts exactly

 

Phillip, You're making this way too hard. I can't speak for Al, but I read his follow up reference to mean there wasn't really any upside left to the tune.

Isn't there a Vishnu thread you need to post on.

Edit: I would also suggest that if Al thought there were any dangers with the tune, he would have made adjustments.

 

I am sold on it! I have it and love it! Great for RR...

one more for good measure.

 

I'm just wondering tis all. Why say the tune was spot on if it was too aggressive? I know al didn't tune the car (or did he), but get the story straight atleast.

 

Wow, will the turbo bashing never stop? With a boost leak, same boost as before the turbo upgrade in 100 degree weather as opposed to mid 80's on the stock turbo and I made 26.5 HP Peak Gain and about 50 HP up on top. All from a simple bolt on turbocharger..... No, it's not a GT35R...... it's not supposed to be... it's supposed to be a turbo that basically spools like stock and doesn't run out of breath up top. Perfect for road racing, autocrossing, track days...etc...... If you're looking for the ultimate drag race turbo go somwhere else....... it's not going to happen on this one. Granted, you'll have a VERY quick car that is perfectly driveable around town and still able to rape a Z06 in a straight line or on the twisties.

That's the beauty of turbo's... they come in all different flavors. If you don't like the way that it tastes, try another..............

Peace,

Tony

 

Give those (unbiased) tunners a few more days. I say we will know the truth in a week.
Patient. Grasshoppers! :P

 

enough about the Porcsche wheres your mod list?

 

I would guess you can find the answer in the fact that he didn't make any changes. Had the tune been a danger, I am sure he would have made adjustments.
