ok, in the next couple of weeks I'll be finishing my exhaust (RPW race headers, high flow cat, greddy muffler and resonater) I already have RRM's pod filter (hey, we buy what they're willing to sell us, right? (-- re my auto) I know I need the piggyback, with a full blown exhaust like that (ok, no TP but cops hate me, naturally, so. . .) How long can I go without the piggy (as I still need to pay off the exhaust. ..) will it really bad? I'm not gonna damage my car am I? Thanks all

 

You don't need the piggy, the car will be fine. All you're doing is basically opening up both ends, the car can take in more air and get rid of more waste. You're not forcing air in or changing the actual engine dynamics like cams, pistons, supercharger, turbo, etc. would.

 

ya like amby said you dont NEED the piggy at all unless you go turbo and need engine management. In fact your car will run smoother without it, be it less powerful. Get the piggy once youve gotten all the other bolt on mods you can and have no where else to go

 

see, for me its like.... i head intake and exhaust

decent....

then pig...

nice....

then rpw header...

NICE

it is like a hole nother beast to put in the equation.. it capitalizes on all ur other mods...


plus now its tunable.

 

if you are hesitating to buy the PB ECU then don't buy it yet. get all your other bolt on mods and think about it a little longer. it is not NEEDED but it is a nice mod to have.

 

i just want to destroy my crack head neighbors POS honda's....
but I can't ever afford a turbo. . .

 

can the piggys be tuned for tc or sc use later on? that sounds like a good start to modding. probably add a few horses eh!?!

 

I thought the piggy got replaced if you bought RRM's turbo kit? Could be wrong.

Please correct if wrong

 

I believe if you stay at the stage 1 level you don't use the piggyback but if you upgrade to stage 2 you use a modified piggyback system. For superchargers I'm fairly certain they supply their own form of management.

 

stage II includes a tuned FMU.
