Whatever you need to think to help you sleep at night Ryan

 

I dunno, I worked in their corporate office for 2 years and the rep's would come by after dropping off 1 crate per store and the corp employees could pick over the left overs. It was the same rep that I had worked with for both years there.

Its not a matter of sleeping at night or not. Its a matter that some of you will have drippy bum-holes when you realize your stupid $300 sunglasses cost $10 to make and you can buy them for $10 (twice per year, on un-advertised days, from a national retailer, with factory warranty).

 

Actually it's that we like to pick on you

 

^ Thats not hard. Usually I just like to joke around online anyway. Sarcasm is always assumed... And walked into willingly

 

Fine take away the fun

 

hey guys, quick question. I'm going down to ER for a tune at the end of August as I will be doing a trackday down at Ridge. For power mods this is what I have left to buy/what I have.

Currently Installed:
- 3" TBE
- Muse LICP

To Buy:
- O2 Dump
- Grimmspeed EBC
- Deatschwerks DW300 Fuel Pump
- Either ETS MAF Intake or ETS 3" SD Intake

I'm having trouble deciding whether I want to go SD or not. I'm up in Vancouver BC, my climate /temperature change is virtually the same as Seattle. It'd be nice to get close to 350whp if possible. But I'd also like to keep it as reliable as possible and going with a SD tune or not is my main concern. Any input would greatly be appreciated!

 

I went SD and am very happy with it. Never any issues and Im in the same power range as your goal.

 

^no issues with cold starts/winter driving? What mods do you have and what did you put down at ER if you dont mind me asking.

 

No issues at all. Started like a champ each time.

Im running, 3" tbe, o2 dump, SD intake, MBC, uicp, licp, 3.5" ic, small battery kit and a few other parts.

I put down just a hair above 365whp after my re-tune after adding my o2 dump at 24psi. Although, Ive seen others with the same mods hit 385whp.

 

There have been some minor improvements with overall smoothness with SD, but honestly its not "super amazing" on a stock trim turbo. It seems, to me, that the real quality gains are in the higher hp applications.

Not sure i'd do it again if I had to. Would have rather put the money into cams.

 

awesome, thanks for the help guys. So far it seems like I'll be going the SD route.

 

SD doesn't make the car faster or better over MAF, it makes it easier to tune from what I understand... coming from the mouth of JohnBradley himself!

 

really? I thought SD had a decent gain over MAF intakes. Most of the SD intakes look a lot less restrictive. But I'm still researching them.

 

Ken- How does it effect your emmisions testing?

 

Easier to tune for who exactly? Good luck getting a decent cold start idle with SD.
