I dropped my car off at a local shop this morning for a piggyback V2 install and tune w/ wideband. Having them tune for it for 93 octane and see what they can squeeze out of it. Should be about 2 hours away from completion. I will post a review in a bit. Countdown has begun and I can't wait!

 

wow cant wait to see this, if i may ask how much are you paying for the install and tune ?

 

^+1

 

It's really expensive IMO but shops in louisville aren't the cheapest but they do an AWESOME job. $75 for install, $50 an hour to tune.

 

That's pretty reasonable

 

$50/hr is good! But why not install it yourself? We have the easiest directions in this site...

 

I dont know much about cars etc. I barely know where the ECU is located lol. I figured a proffessional isn't going to mess it up, but the chances of me messing it up are like more than 50%. Basically I don't have much confidence in myself lol.

 

heading out to go pick it up right now. Will be back in a bit!!

 

ok, they weren't able to tune it today but are going to tune it friday. The piggyback is installed with just the basemap right now. Overall impressions.. Throttle response is decently increased. Smooth idle, never know you would have it. Car is not a bit faster off the line (HUGE disappointment). BUT Big pull at about 45 MPH up to the higher speeds. Exhaust smells like it is running very rich... Maybe this is causing the off the line to be not that great?? Don't know, suggestions? I really hope the off the line is improved because if not then it was a waste of money. The pull at higher speeds don't help city and normal highway driving. Will update later after I have driven it around quite a bit more.

 

What mods do you have?

 

thats the only way I was going to buy the piggy... if there was a decent increase througout.

should of got the cable, esspecially since you got a pro to tune it anyway

 

so you are saying you are disapointed???

 

kind of. CEL came on tonight. This is proffessionally installed and with the latest updates from RRM. My car I think is running very rich. It is drinking up quite a bit of gas. I am going to upload the base map on my computer tonight and fiddle with the wires to see what is going on. I am headed back to the shop friday to get the thing fixed and then fully tuned. So far, not worth the price. BUT I am not giving up on it as I think there is an install issue or something. It is definately running more rich than before from what I can tell without a wideband.

 

sorry to hear that bro hope everything goes well for you
