hmm... i'm thinking BOV or oil lines, they are so damn expensive( no offense stealthy) but they are fukcing expensive, 80 bucks for an oil line kit? its all because of the -AN fittings, bet hey, stealthy has the cheapest! i went and priced them at the auto parts store over 150 bucks!

BOV? New ones are ridiculously over priced but i just buy OEM ones off other cars like a DSM or a Volvo(d16z64life!!)...then they are more or less affordable. But i def agree new BOV's that are like $200 are ------- out of line.

Fuel management ive just taught myself to use uberdata...

Fuel management is by far the most expensive. You can do oil lines out of brake line for under $10 and it works the same as steel braided, it just doesn't have the bling bling

my bov was $150, my IC was $1100 (brand new right when they released it), my turbo was $1500 (with manifold), managment (havent bought it yet, but is $1100), etc.. etc..

i say the ecu is the worst. Its just some electronics (cost of making is probably somewhere around 200 dollars max)

see i dont even want hondata...turboedit/uberdata=hondata except they actually has more columns to edit more accurately.

Things lacking AT THE MOMENT are real time programing, nitrous control, and datalogging....

Whatever uberdata/turboedit is free, so who gives a ----

---- hondata!
