If anyone wants to PM me tuners in Austin, Texas area that would be great.


For the price you would pay a reputable tuner in TX, you could learn how to do it yourself.

I highly recommend this course!

I'm working on seeing if I can get it to you all at a better price..but yes it is expensive, but WELL worth it.

From what I learned there, I have made my money back and then some.

is it that bad? My brother had one for his hatch with a b16 NA but I guess boost is way different.

i'm using the hack for the meantime, until i can get in touch with projek to chip my ecu for uber.

the hack is cool because of all the adjustability in your hands, but to me its all guess work.
personally i'm going to go with uber. and sell my afc for some more goodies.

If he was N/A, he wasnt using the Hack most likely...the uses larger than stock injectors and rescales the MAP signal to fool the ECU

If the OBD2 ECU sees that the Dizzy is off, wont it correct it? I herd that you have to hook up the service connector to keep that from happening.... Might want to check into this some more then...
