I currently have the following mods:

Buschur Intake
Buschur 3" TBE w/ Highflow cat
Hallman MBC
HKS 264/264 w/ OE Cam Gears
S-AFC II

I knowthe MBC and AFC wont be a factor but would the XEDE Stage 1+ map
be alright with my configuation? I was thinking of buying the XEDE but I dont want
custom tune it after I already bought a $995 product. I mean right now I am using the AFC for my tuning needs so If the XEDE doesnt really yield me any more power...whether that be more torque and/or horsepower...I'm not so sure ....

 

You need injectors and a fuel pump to take advantage of that SAFC-II some more ...

 

Oh really why is that? I would really like to know.

 

??

 

YOU DO NOT NEED LARGER INJECTORS UNLESS YOU HAVE A LARGER TURBO!!!Fuel pump good! not injectors. see my mods, and i still have stock injectors. If you dump in MORE FUEL, you have to mix it with MORE AIR! (larger turbo) my TME turbo is not considered a larger turbo!

 

Will I have better results w/ the XEDE on shelf maps than a AFC tuned w/ a logger

 

I say YES! more parameters, more maps to "tweak" either by yourself, or when duno tuning. I had the SAFC II, one of the first mods I got rid of. Wanted more control, parameters/ built in saftey parameters. Get it and thank me later!

 

Buy XEDE.
Sell AFC and MBC.
Go faster.

 

I agree with the Unibomber on this one!

 

It would be similar to AFC vs DynoFlash, but more so. So, yes, there is more power to be gained because of timing changes that the XEDE makes instead of the fuel only tuning of the AFC. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=151722

 

Also, with the XEDE, you would need to remove your boost controller and AFC and you might see more gains with your stock air box.

 

Hmm would leaving the buschur intake give me a huge loss in performance?

 

According to Shiv (the only US distributor of XEDE which is made by a company called ChipTorque in Australia), yes, though I have no first-hand experience.

 

Buy an ECU+

 

Shoot I guess I need to get a stock airbox then....the custom tune dynoflash @ buschur a couple of weeks of now sounds like a much better idea more and more....
